Haggie, you'd better take your boat way up a river so you don't
lose it. Stevie and LOCO can stand to lose theirs. Scotty's is already
a loss. It will be a blessing in disguise so they can get something better
with the insurance money.

I still say Isabel is going to hit Long Island. I certainly hope so
because I want to see Booby experience some REAL winds
and seas.

Yeah, I'm getting that feel in the pit of my stomach. With only one big

The latest tracks from the major computer models have
it coming right up your little ole Bay. Only the UKMET
has it passing by and heading up to New York. I
happen to think the UKMET will be more correct
than the others in this case. I'm hoping it stays offshore
when it passes you guys so you get the weak side.
I want the eye to go right over Booby's dock and
I think it has a very good chance of doing so.

Here's the bad news from NOAA. But, don't
despair - Like I said I think NOAA is wrong this
time.

It looks like it's gonna be ugly whatever happens. Without masts I'll have
less windage but I still have a lot to do this week. Of course Bill will be
out of town for the big event. I have 5 big pilings so I should be able to
tie her off pretty good, but I want to get some big spikes in so the lines
don't slip off the tops. I'm thinking to put a couple lines between the
pilings as well. I hate the waiting. Are you feeling any effects yet?

No effects here and there probably won't be. She's too
far offshore and will not get much closer than she is now.
She's close to our latitude already (she's at about 24N and I'm at
about 25N) abut she's starting to head more towards the northwest
though at this time she's still tracking west/ northwest.

When you tie off all the lines leave as much slack as you can
without hitting the pilings because you could get a pretty
good storm surge right up the Bay. Try to determine if
she's going to make landfall at high tide or low tide. It
could make a significant difference in the way you want
to tie up.

People often make the mistake of tying off too high on
their pilings. This puts more strain on the pilings and
could break or bend over any weak ones. If it were
me I would tie the lines lower down with enough
slack to account for whatever rise in tide and or storm
surge was expected.

Good luck.

The spikes in the piles are a good idea. Hope you don't get a surge that

Don't get Haggie's hopes up!

Isabel's doing some normal fluctuations in strength and
is down to a cat three right now. However, once it
gets over the Gulf Stream where the water temps
are in the upper eighties it will strengthen up probably
to a cat 4 again. Also it looks like the upper lever
atmosphere conditions will become more favorable
as it closes in on the coast by Thursday. If it goes
where the official NOAA track shows it going, watch out!
It will probably be a strong cat 3 at landfall.

click here for official NOAA track

Haggie is in for a pounding from the dangerous quarter
and the storm surge will be very great with Easterly
winds piling the water up against the shore and
into the Bay. If she stays aboard she's in for a rough
ride.

The 'dangerous quarter' only applies to vessels at sea?

Wrong! The dangerous quarter is dangerous because it combines
the forward speed of the 'cane with the speed of the winds. If the
cane is progressing at 20 knots and the winds are blowing at
100 knots then the combined winds will be 120 knots. When the
'cane goes ashore so the NE quadrant strikes a boater in a bay
where the seas and tide can be pushed right in and have nowhere
to go then the storm surge can be very high indeed.

So, don't tell me the dangerous quarter only affects boaters at
sea, you putrid putz!
