The hurricane is in his area now

He is probably battening down his hatches as is my son-in-law in Savannah (his house, not boat).

Wayne is hiding out at his mother-in-law's place north of Tampa. The
boat is hiding out in a secluded creek west of the St John's River
south of Jacksonville. So far, so good. We'll go back tomorrow
morning.

I see you left the spot going. If that goes away, it would not be good
news. ;-)
You just have to worry that it ends up on the hard when the surge
subsides. I assume you had multiple anchors and lots of rode.

Oh yes. The main anchor is a 90# Rocna set on 150 ft of 3/8ths HT
chain plus another 30 ft of 1 inch, 8-plait polyester braid for a
snubber/shock absorber. The secondary is a 65# Bruce with 25 ft of
3/8ths HT plus 150 ft of 7/8ths nylon 3 strand. The water depth is 15
ft so there is plenty of scope.

The SPOT device has to be reset every 24 hours or it turns itself off.
That's already happened but I have another device which uplinks
positions every 5 minutes or so via cellular internet. it's working
fine and everything is as expected.

The big uncertainty know is our inflatable dinghy which we parked at a
local marina. If that is missing or damaged when we get back tomorrow
we'll have a new challenge to deal with.
