I ran down to the dock during the blow and tied some extra lines on my dock-neighbors boat. (he lives on the mainland) . The boat (stern into the wind) was surging hard on the foreward spring lines which were acting like two rubber bands and rubbing on a couple parts of the boat. I was able to get a couple stern lines on there to take some of the heat off of the looong spring lines. I am amazed how people tie up their boats sometimes.

Was planning on splashing my boat last Fri...waited till today. She is in now. Had to sweep out a couple bushels of pine needles and branches, but no damage. Wind seems to be dying...only blowing 25 now.

I hope to sneak out mid week for a test run/fish trip.
