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. |

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. |

We expect the usual.. strong winds and lots of rain on Sunday. |
