Bill, put up the chute! Get that drilling rig moving! I finished storm prep on Touche' early afternoon. Just wrapped sails, dropped canvas, and added a spring line. Forecast is 28 kts maximum sustained and max gusts around 40 kts early afternoon Wednesday.
A large motor yacht docked across the pier from Touche'. It will effectively block most of the wind. Nice. Had beautiful sunset. Hope to undo all the storm prep Wednesday afternoon or Thursday morning and be DONE with storms!!!!! Dennis C.
