We've just now finished putting it all back together, the bimini and

on the main, made possible by not having the bimini in the way of easy reach
to attach/sticky.

Where are you these days?

We arrived back home in SWFL last Saturday after 5 months of cruising
Canada and New England. Our trip south on the Florida AICW after
Matthew was uneventful except for all of the damage that we passed.
There are large numbers of damaged boats, homes and docks,
particularly in the area between St Augustine and Daytona Beach. There
was one stretch of about 20 miles where it appeared that every single
dock had been broken up to one degree or another. South of Melbourne
was relatively unscathed compared to farther north.

We bailed out for 2 days to the west coast after getting the last
rental car available, not knowing what we'd find when we came back.
Fortunately all was well. Wind speeds in our absence are unknown but
there were considerable numbers of downed trees on each side of our
creek. I'd guess that would indicate peak speeds in the 70 knot
range, maybe more. We left the boat on two anchors spread about 60
degrees to the north. Our primary is a 90# Rocna with 150 ft of
3/8ths HT chain coupled with about 20 ft of 1 inch, 8-plait braided
snubber. The secondary was a 65# Bruce with 25 ft of 3/8ths HT
combined with 150 ft of 7/8ths 3-strand nylon - fire hose anti-chafing
on both. No issues with any of that, with no sign of dragging on
either anchor. Scope was about 10:1 on both anchors and we set them
very hard with our big diesels.
