Default batten down the hatches

"Batten down the hatches"

An expression used whenever I raise the mainsail. They always come flying
out of the pockets. If the don't fly into the water and sink, they go down
the hatch and are lost forever.

Hurricanes scare those city folks on the coast. The wind speeds and duration
can't compare to that of the jetstream, especially on some mountain top in
winter.

Hurricane season is time for real manly men to fly kites!

Amen!
