Saw the sky getting black, so we booked it home, got in before it hit hard.

Would not have been fun to be stuck out there in that crap.

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

Got stuck coming in from Stellwagon out 35 miles and came right into it. Took us along time to get in. tried to scoot around it and the next thing you know we were surrounded by lightning and rain from hell. Was not fun but it is getting better knowing what our new boat can handle. Not liking that kind of stuff. We even left early out there, it was FAC as the wind just came up all of a sudden and I said you know what I think we should start heading in.

Was a pretty scary trip and would not want to repeat it. SO much for the NO WAKE ZONE coming into the river, as we were coming in was when all hell started to break loose last evening in Quincy. glad we got the boat tied up and got home as that was just starting. Pulled into 4 ft of water in our driveway as the whole street was flooded and looked in the basement and the water started pulling in. You should have seen these idiots trying to go thru this on our street. At one point there were 7 cars flooded and stalled in the middle of 4 ft of water on the street. SOme people just do not know how to go around the block. every time a car went by the waves came up our drivway and the water would gush into the basement, got lucky that it started to receed when it did or we would have ended up with a full basement full of water. The big guy upstairs was definatly watching over us yesterday>>
