A Quick Trip to Batten Down

Yesterday was a very quick trip up to Keyport and out the launch to batten down for this week's anticipated storms.  Sunday and Monday were supposed to get high winds and a hurricane is hanging off the East Coast, expected to get here mid-weeek.

Since I had a full week at work, I went and made sure the mooring lines were in good shape and secure, removed all the bird chasers and solar panel, and took down the dodger so there is nothing that can blow overboard.

At one point I thought I might go out and run the engine but the bay was grey and quite wavy, so I declined for this week.  Of course as I was coming back in, the racers were getting ready to head out. To each his own, I guess.
