We have had some crazy weather around here these last couple months. Tuesday night the wind was really blowing and the boat was bobbing around pretty good. At about 4am I was awoke by a combination of the boat moving about and the sound of the wind howling.
I got up and had a look around to make sure we were not blowing away or getting blown into our nieghbors boats or that they were not blowing into us. I also wanted to know just how hard the wind was blowing, so I turned on the instruments and checked the wind gauge. It was blowing a steady 20-25knots and gusting to 42knots, which is almost 50mph!!!
Wednesday night was pretty calm, but this is supposed to be the calm before the storm. Tonight (thursday) it is supposed to blow and storm even harder.
I better recheck the dock lines and make sure everything that is’nt tied down gets tied down.
