A non-event here. Didn't even wrap the genny. Worst was a few gusts to 30s,
mostly 15-22, not even torrential rain, though we did get the deck scrubbed.
Took yesterday off in the no-wind brilliant sunshine, back to work today,
caulking the toe rail and sanding in prep for a new boot stripe...

Good Night, Irene...


We're now into hurricane prep, as Irene is forecast to come directly to us
in Ft. Pierce, where we're still on the hard, doing boat work.

Lots of stuff to do to protect us from losing stuff due to wind, and to
make sure we don't blow - or float - over if it actually does land as a
hurricane.

Those interested in monitoring our prospects can look he

At this writing, it's pretty certain that we'll see tropical storm force
winds, with an outside chance (currently!) of a hurricane.

We have a house to go to in that event, unless it gets severe, in which
case they, too, would have to evacuate.

Otherwise, all is well aboard Flying Pig, with projects marching off the
page as we cross them off, with only a few new additions as we go (the
norm is to be peeling the onion - you discover new stuff at each layer!).

More later after whatever excitement there is, likely not before the
weekend is over...
