Dennis; Given the 11PM forecast for Nate, it actually may be a blessing that Touché is in Pensacola. (for listers who don’t check the NHC for updates two or three times a day, like those of us in the southeast and gulf coast, the track for Nate keeps moving west, and the consensus seems to be that it will come ashore near Nawlens as a Cat1 storm)
Looks like Nate may go back offshore after passing Long Island Sound as a 25kt tropical depression about Monday evening.

This is getting annoying. Touche's slip in Mandeville, LA is a fixed pier. It has been submerged for a couple days now from that system that was around northeastern Florida last week. Strong easterly winds for days pushes water into Lake Pontchartrain through The Rigolets. My dock box probably has several inches of water in it. I keep everything in tubs so unless the water gets 2 feet or so over the dock, everything is OK. Pain in the butt to go pull everything out, mop it out and let it dry. I usually set up a folding chair and drink a beer or two. The other issue is the mud on the dock. If one of the boat owners doesn't get down there while the mud is still wet and hose it off, it's a pain in the butt to wash the dock boards after the mud dries. Anyway, Touche' is still in Pensacola on a floating pier. If I go over to do storm prep (remove sails and canvas), I may have to stop by Mandeville and wade through the marina to get storm dock lines out of my dock box. Always fun with the snakes, fire ants and gators. :( Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA
