Lost power at 0400, came back on 1115. (made coffee on a Sterno can) Lots
of branches, but no trees down. Didn't get much rain. Wind wasn't as
strong
as predicted. Sun is out now. Looks like we dodged her. Now waiting to
hear how my boat is doing. Water is 8' above MLW!


MLW??


Good news - sounds like it eased up very quickly after making landfall.

Whew! Donal makes another rocket scientist quality weather review!

Feeling a bit grumpy today, Bob? What's the matter, fatso? Did Suzanne
get vertigo after deciding that she would like to try it "on top".

MLW = Mean Low Water. Have you never seen a chart?

That's what I assumed that it meant. However, I regularily deal with 12m
(39 ft) tides - so 8' above MLW would the the average height less than 2
hours after low water.

If you said 2' higher than MHW, then I could see the problem.

Holy frikin christ!

Oh. I'm a bit 'edgy' today. Still have no word on how my boat faired. I
believe the tidal range for the Chess. Bay is only 2' (?). So 8' above even
MLW is a big deal here.

Thanks. Now I understand!

6' above the normal HW wouldn't be such an issue where the normal range is
39'.
