Hey Ol Thom,

We are getting a beam wind that is blowing like crazy right now,
steady 20 gusting to the mid 30's + My chair here at my desk has been
acting like a porch rocker in Mississippi all morning.


Nothing wrong with that! My porch rockers in Mississippi, have blown
off the porch this morning.

I enjoy a good rocking, great for sleeping in with the hatch cracked
and a brisk cool dry breeze . The lake looks like snow with the way the
white caps cover the surface right now.
The water has dropped 3 ft since 07:00.

The boats creaking and groaning against her lines, and the mast
shivers a bit off and on, just got off the phone with a client and he
said it sounds like I'm working in a haunted house.

We have been
stagger around the boat like drunks, getting steady 5-6 degree rocks to
port and 2-3 degrees back to starboard as the gusting slacks and roars.
Our first taste of winter, it's sunny and in the seventy's but the temp
is suppose to drop fast, and I think we will be sitting on the bottom
tonight. Low Humidity.

Watch out for that 6" tunsami ;0)

Joe
