Re: Stus-List Gotta Love These Hurricanes
Meanwhile in Colorado: beautiful day for CSYC’s annual pursuit race yesterday. Sunny, temps in the 70s, breezes at 10kts gusting 15. Today: freezing temps, several inches of wet heavy snow on the ground, tree limbs breaking. Two more Sunday races left, then hauling out by Halloween.

Re: Stus-List Gotta Love These Hurricanes
We had Turkey Trot (Canadian Thanksgiving!) races yesterday and today. Yesterday we had 20-30 kt. winds most of the day, with temperatures over 20 C - as Michael said - October sailing in short sleeves! Today the remnants of Nate arrived - no wind (0-4 kt.) and rain. Not much of a sailing weather. I went for a quick spin before starting decommissioning for winter. Sad time of the year. Btw. our Club is about 2 km from Britannia. When they recorded that 85 kt. wind, at our Club the top recorded wind was around 45 kt. Nothing to report in our Club (short of a few jibs unfurling). In Britannia, a number of boats were damaged (one fell off the cradle, a mast broken, many a stantion bent, numerous dinghies strewn around).

Re: Stus-List Gotta Love These Hurricanes
Interesting about the wind gusts; we are in the middle of the Ohio Valley and went out in the remnants of Hurricane Nate: we had mean winds of 14-18 mph with gust in the mid to upper 30s; I clocked one gust at 39: of course it put the rail in the water..grin, grin...!

Re: Stus-List Gotta Love These Hurricanes
I just checked the wind histories from New Orleans Lakefront airport, Gulfport Airport, Keesler AFB, Pascagoula airport, Mobile and Pensacola airports. The highest gust reading I saw overnight was 58 at Mobile. Currently a 3.3 elevation in Lake Pontchartrain over normal tide. Only a very brief rain shower yesterday afternoon in New Orleans. I am sure our mayor has stopped sweating over failed drainage pumps.

Re: Stus-List Gotta Love These Hurricanes
Thanks Dennis. Just got word that there's 76 boats in the cove now including the biloxi schooners so I suspect we picked the right spot. Touché going to get rocked from the way it looks too.

Re: Stus-List Gotta Love These Hurricanes
Bob, was wondering about Beemer. Beemer is probably the most exposed boat on the list. Hope it weathers the storm OK. Let us know. As I was driving to Pensacola I saw a couple of shrimpers up the Biloxi backwaters by one of the I-10 bridges. Many marinas on the coast boot out their tenants. As I was doing storm prep on Touche' Friday, a Catalina came into the slip next to me. The regular tenant was hauled out. The Catalina had just gotten booted from Palafox Pier, the most expensive, by far, marina in the Pensacola area. Palafox Pier has floating piers but is directly on Pensacola Bay. The Catalina owner was not happy. This is what happened to Palafox Pier after Hurricane Ivan in 2004. http://www.pnj.com/story/weather/hurricanes/2015/09/15/hurricane-ivan-anniversary/72347546/ Palafox Pier has a LOT of big boats in it. Where does one take a 60+ foot motoryacht when it's in the only marina with large slips within 20 miles? Some boatyards offer pre-paid storm haul outs. Or I guess one heads to The Wharf in Orange Beach. That's a 25 mile run. Fairly quiet here in Baton Rouge tonight. Nate has made landfall on the Delta and will shortly make a second landfall on the Mississippi Coast. Dennis C.
