Capt Neal is scared that the big bad hurricane may be too windy here in NY! He
thinks my boat should be hauled!
I guess I'm not on a giant mooring like he is!

Sorry, Neal...we're sailing!

Wish the hurricane would come here (Nova Scotia)....I love to set some speed
records with my national solo.......

According to Neal you should melt the boat down into a safe lump of plastic and
ship it to Arizona!

You don't know what gear you have until you but it to the test.....

If you have a good mooring your boat is way safer in the water then on
land.....where a tree can fall on it.....

Fate is Fate.....

Hey Simple,

Oh,Great Prognosticator, You look like you could get pretty close.
Congratulations ( You Old Phony!)

All your bragging and self praise does raise the question. What causes
the high pressures and low pressure , in the weather systems to form and
why do they travel in the direction that they do?

I ask this because I came in from sailing because of a low pressure
system heading our way, out of the Gulf of Alaska.

It got me to thinking about our weather systems. Our bad weather at this
time of year comes in from the Northwest. Back East, it seems to be from
the south east. In a couple of months, The NE Atlantic Coast line will
be watching for the Northeasters.

Let's do some talking about Global weather systems. Things like the
Monsoons in the Indian Ocean, The Pacific Typhoons, the Eastern Pacific
Rain Storms. The Nile flooding. The seeding of the Hurricanes out of
Africa to the Caribbean

There is an awful lot of question I don't have answers to. I'm sure
there is a lot more knowledge out there that can be shared.

I hope you're just trying to get Silly Simon's goat.

As the storm gets closer there will be increasing demand on lifts and draw
bridges will stop opening for boat traffic as evacuating auto traffic is
considered more important. Leaving the boat at the dock is a poor idea
although many, including myself here in Florida, usually tie their boats
down until they look like they're the center of a spider web. Leaving the
boat secured at the dock usually results in a severely damaged or lost
vessel as the storm surge either raises the water above fixed piers and
floats floating docks off their pilings.

If the nasty girl continues as forecasted you will be okay, but anyone near
the Chesapeake better be making plans or looking for a hurricane hole.

Huh...not tied to a dock but on a mooring....

Question 2

Why haul a boat for a 'cane. It seems to me that there is as much bamage
done to land structures as to Marines?

Are you just trying to laugh at the people you can get to spend money on
hauling their boats?

Doesn't it all start with differing rates of heating and cooling of
land/sea, exposed/cloudy regions, etc?

Wally,

The storm baring down on us here in washington is coming out of the Gulf
of Alaska. That is a cold area to a warm area. Isabel is a storm from a
warm area to a cold area. There has to be something else involved.
