We put out all of our fenders and lines and secured the hatches before going to bed last night. We zipped out all the windows to the dodger, took down the dodger canvas and secured the bimini. About 4 a.m. winds were really tossing us around and Chuck stayed outside to keep an eye on things and adjust some lines. He took down the diesel containers and anything else catching wind and helping to rock the boat. We can't put the keel down too much to stabilize us because we're in shallow water. We are totally safe but don't want any damage to our boat!
The winds calmed for a few hours this morning and Jazzy and I took a 1.5 mile walk around town, while Chuck caught a few zzzzzzzzzzzs after a night of sporatic sleep.
Right now the winds are really gusting. I'm sitting here watching TV while Chuck is checking everything outside.
Jazzy's calming collar is doing wonders. If anyone reading this has a dog who is a worrier, I highly recommend a calming collar. I'm amazed at how well it works!
We may walk over to Waterman's Crab House tonight or tomorrow. It's a stone's throw from our boat. They have all-you-can-eat crabs and many of you know I LOVE them!
The high winds are supposed to end around 6 p.m. Will post again tonight to let you know how we weathered the storm.
