The latest tracking info seems to indicate Irene will skirt across the
bottom of Chesapeake Bay and hit the tip of the DelMarVa Peninsula. The
Bay is narrow, though, so I'm sure we're going to have a hell of a lot
of wind and rain and, of course, the usual several days of power outages.

Boat's in a creek up the Pax River, tied to a floating dock. About as
much as I can do. The marinas on the Bay are not particularly sheltered.


It looks like you are all getting a break. The storm ran into some
shear and it weakened some. If that keeps up you will see a cat 1 or
even a TS by the time it gets to Long Island


Looks like it's not going to be much of an event here. I'd thought about leaving the cover off the
boat, which is in the driveway, but put it on just to keep all the damn leaves out.


Fall came early last night. The yard is covered with leaves.
