Default Surge - Boating Related

Yep...

Friendly marina guy called and said there might be a three to four foot
"surge" tomorrow in conjunction with the high tides and the passover of TS
Hanna. That kind of surge floods over into the boat parking areas, and if
it is high enough splashes more than water into the trailer axles.

So I just picked up Yo Ho and brought her home. We're between 110' and
115' above sea level. Going to move another boat to a Pax River spot in a
couple of hours.

Lots of guys moving their trailer boats today, and some guys were taking
their boats out of the slips and trailering them to higher ground. A few
guys were doubling up lines.

Hopefully, Hurricane Ike will not present a problem next week to us
Acelas.


I hope y'all weaken Hanna before she passes up the Bay of Fundy. We expect
the usual.. strong winds and lots of rain on Sunday.
