Here comes Andrea

I'm heading to work should get home by 3am with a little luck I can spend the day on the boat tomorrow and work on projects. My new Rogue Wave antenna is due in tomorrow as well as a water pump for my generator. I'm sure I can come up with a few more projects to work on.
 
For us, the season is only 1/4 over, but I know that HM kicks you out early (unless you want to pay more). I don't feel the need to add more lines, I guess you get worse weather where you are.
 
What are you all talking about? What nasty weather... I see rain and some wind 5-10. I am planning to bring up the small boat. Am I missing something?
 
Hopefully this is the non event for you folks that it was for us in Ft. Myers. One of the boats here clocked 38 knots of wind but that was gusty stuff not sustained.
We had a good "wind tide" that made it tough to get onto Freedom but otherwise all is well. I am thinking the affects on the Hudson should be minimal if things don't escalate.

Heading up to boat to relax, have a cup of coffee and puff on a vapor cigar. No storm worries within the protected cove we simply refer to as the deep water resort on the Hudson.

Thanks for great coffee!!
What's up with Irene, Sandy and Andrea? Normally I would be ok with these female names on my boat!

You missed great coffee from Hank!
 
This rain sucks I plan on working both from and on the boat today and this is one of the few times where the walk bothers me! I guess this is why I keep an umbrella in the car. Today I plan to tweak the cameras on board and run a wire for the new Rogue maybe even install the new pump for the generator if it comes in early enough if not that will be tomorrow.
So much time so little to do:) It feels good to be able to say this! My to do list is getting smaller I will have to start making a new list add things like cleaning and touching up my motors.
 
I'm sure there will be plenty of debris in the water. If you go out this weekend keep your eyes peeled.
 
We had a damaging tornado in nearby Fernandina Beach. About 35 miles south, we had heavy rain (but not all that long) and moderate wind. But I know you guys are thinking "Enough" and "Not Again."

The predictions for the Rondout don't look too bad at this point. Interesting, but not serious anyway. The creek will be moving along! Maybe the team from Liberty Landing will head North to duck the storm :D

Projected to crest at 15.5 feet. Not even the action stage.

Based on the past 2 hurricanes we have learned there is no reason to run from Liberty Landing. More important is to get your car out of the parking lots as many of those left behind during Sandy floated away.

Not saying LL had no damage as they did but the docks and boats in the water faired very well with little to no damage. Damage was primarily the dock houses and boats blocked on land.

So for those that get kicked from Haverstraw during the next hurricane where Wheeler feels the docks are more important than customers come on down river and ride it out in a canal with VERY tall pilings.

Was out today and no debris. River was very clean. The tide during the storm wasn't much higher than normal. No wood in the road on Hudson drive between Belle Harbor and the Penny Bridge. Only 5 boats at Croton Point and the water was 72 degrees and calm. Gonna be a slow season over there I suspect.
 
Rommer how big where the boats that were asked to leave HM because I don't know of anyone that was asked to leave I heard that the large yachts such as something too big for them to haul here where ask to find a safe place but other then a couple of boats I haven't heard anything such as you describe but if this is true I would like to know so I can be prepared in such an event.
 
Starry Night...saw you at my marina yesterday, PBM, said hello but you were on your way out and didn't hear me.I have the Chaparral..a friend on my boat asked you what your boats name was. Anyway, just want to compliment you on your Chris Craft. I love those old boats...especially the CC. So much character!!

Hi Judy,
Thank you for the compliment on our '85 Chris Craft. The name on this boat is Escaped and we have owned her for 25 years this year. This was our first boat we purchased and now our kids are enjoying her.
 
I was out on Giggity yesterday and didn't see any debris. We stopped at HM and it was dead, only saw Bob there.
 
The predictions were lowered to 12 feet as I recall so I am thinking the creek was moving briskly and had some debris. We're in Florida now. But we kept a boat on the creek for 20 years and got to know what it is capable of. Like back in 2005 when Freedom almost floated off the stands.

Bob, its great that you kept her all these years and shes in wonderful condition. A real beauty. Love it.

Does anyone know what's going on at the Catskill Marina? Is it operational after Sandy? I know it had been devastated.
