Just watching the bouy data - man, it looks a little steep out your
way.


Wave height at mouth of our harbour is already 7 feet and the storm
'Noel' doesn't get here until late this afternoon.

I am sitting here at the chart table in the pilothouse and the wind is
howling pretty good now.
There's a 46' Bertram convertible beside me and everyonce in a while it
bounces towards me while my boat is moving towards it. It happens fast
and makes me jump when I catch it out of the corner of my eye.

It's amazing. The wind is moving this 40K+ pound boat around like a
toothpick.
Hope all our lines hold.

I also thought I saw snow mixed in with the rain. That's depressing.

That reminds me of the poor sailor who had his wooden vessel tied up
opposite a WW2 Corvette during Juan 4 years ago. The larger steel boat kept
smashing into it until the wooden boat sank near a major sewer outlet.
