We’ve been working our way back from Maine, with family and friends.
Anchorages have been lovely, but not nearly protected enough for what is coming in the next few days.
Wildlife has been well worth watching.
Including our old friends near Cape Cod.
They seem to know we are friendly.
We would have liked to spend more time in Nantucket. However the lagoon where you anchor is not the best looking situation for what will probably be storm force, or stronger, winds.
We have a hurricane hole picked out, the awnings are stowed, and both spare anchors are on deck ready to go.
Between conversing with guests and curious onlookers, a bit of camera work, and working on the FPB 115 spec, spare time has been in short supply.
And we have been preparing for the worst, weather wise.
The good folks at Maritime Prediction Center are saying Sunday is the day.
We’ll be ready.

Took the sails off yesterday, may set two anchors at two angles off the slip today when I add lines. Storm track this AM has the eye directly over us Saturday night. If track holds, this will be a mess.
Be safe,
Jim

Could you try and take some video if/when it gets nasty? We cruise vicariously through you anyways, so we’d “like” to experience the stormy weather as well!

Hi Zenon:
We’ll have the cameras rolling. Stay tuned.

Watching you cruse on through Block Island Sound on marinetraffic.com. Hope you find a good place to hole up!

Have one in mind.
