Default Surge - Boating Related

Yep...

Friendly marina guy called and said there might be a three to four foot
"surge" tomorrow in conjunction with the high tides and the passover of
TS Hanna. That kind of surge floods over into the boat parking areas,
and if it is high enough splashes more than water into the trailer axles.

So I just picked up Yo Ho and brought her home. We're between 110' and
115' above sea level. Going to move another boat to a Pax River spot in
a couple of hours.

Lots of guys moving their trailer boats today, and some guys were taking
their boats out of the slips and trailering them to higher ground. A few
guys were doubling up lines.

Hopefully, Hurricane Ike will not present a problem next week to us Acelas.

Yep, let's hope this one misses us too. I feel for the people where
ever it goes but keep it away from me.

Water is above the ramps and into the parking lot on our lakes and
rivers too. Boating is banned on these lakes anyway until the level
drops below peoples window sills. With all the rain we've had in
Central Florida there hasn't been many good days to take my little
open boat out anyway.

I hope y'all weaken Hanna before she passes up the Bay of Fundy. We expect
the usual.. strong winds and lots of rain on Sunday.
