It looks like we will be whipped by the outside edges of Sandy, nothing that Cool Hand hasn't seen before. Tom has adjust our lines several times the last few days to accommodate for the shift in wind direction so we are not bouncing around a great deal. This is Sunday and the Shell gas station is closed, we are well stocked on board so not really a problem. Dotty and Hass are in the house not 20' from the boat where there is a small living room type lounge. Dotty had knee replacement surgery in August and is still working on her recovery. Getting on and off the boat is tricky so they thought it best to be on dry land. I am going to make soup/stew later for dinner and we will take it over and share a meal.
So far we have had a great deal of rain. We thought it would give Cool Hand a good wash down, but instead the wind has brought bits of leaves and stuff to replace or add to what was already here. We took down our dodger and Bimini so getting in and out is wet, no way around it. We have had small windows of no rain, but it quickly starts up again. We are relatively dry inside, a small dribble comes down the mast and now that it is cooling off condensation is gathering around the hatch in the front V berth. Water, water everywhere -----
Tucked in and waiting...
Tom and Laura
