Hey Dave,
...located directly across Farragut Lagoon from The Sopranos Internal Combustion Water Toy Storage Facility... (grin)
Got a bit behind in my hurricane prep yesterday, attempting to assuage the hysteria being demonstrated by the wives of numerous neighbors, and also instructing my power-boating neighbors how to tie up a boat... I think West Marine should just start selling gigantic versions of their various "Fender Hangers", and be done with it... (grin)
Although it looks like Irene is gonna go right over the top of me, I'm still feeling cautiously optimistic... Feeling pretty good about where I am, a pretty good spiders web of lines to various pilings and trees/shrubbery, and I've strung lines across my lagoon to deal with the westerlies behind the passage of the storm... Good news is breeze out of a more northerly component when she really starts cranking up, so that should inhibit the storm surge to a degree at my location in the NW corner of Barnegat Bay...
Anyway, I've just made myself a Hurricane Manhattan, gonna kick back and relax, looks like it will be a long night...
Good luck, Dave, Doug, Larry and to every one else in the path of this bitch... (grin)
best regards,
Jon
