Holy Crap! Look at the prices!
Seems like I remember buying them for a quarter and it included a spare
rubber band.

Yeah, it costs more to have fun these days. They still look pretty
reasonable compared to boats though.

Is your marina well protected from nor'easters? We're just starting
to get the first big gusts down here on the outer banks of NC.

The section of the marina the Navigator is in is well protected. It's
referred to as the "back basin" and, although it can get some winds, it is
well protected from heavy seas. Tomorrow I'll double up the lines, just as
a precaution.

The GB is all tucked away in one of Kingman's storage buildings, so no
problem there.

Be careful down there. This storm has surprised the weather people. It
should be north of you by tomorrow, I think.

BTW .... what the heck are you doing up at this hour? What the heck am *I*
doing up at this hour?

Hard to believe that this storm is projected to remain at hurricane strength
so far north and thru Sunday ....

It's moved west of that track now and there is a possibility if a low
pressure ridge collapses over New York in response we'll see it hit
somewhere from NYC to Providence.

WHOO HOO!!

Time to get out the surf pole and head to Watch Hill.

Historically, this late season type of storm isn't unusual for New
England - there have been around ten or so of them since the 1700s.
