Sandy visits

It was loud, it was rocky, but otherwise it wasn't bad. We ate at Honey's Harvest for lunch every day to check on the neighborhood and it seems all fared well. They shut off power to the pier tonight intentionally due to high water, but that's pretty much the only power outage we've seen. Dodged the bullet!

Sandy (a.k.a. Frankenstorm) preps

Yesterday we took down the genoa and some of the dodger, added lines and fenders, and filled the water. What did that leave for today? Pumpkins! We hit a farm for a corn maze and pumpkins, then carved them up while watching football. We saw 34kts this morning, then it was less than 20 this afternoon, and now the action is picking back up. Rain is coming down, too. School and work have been cancelled for tomorrow so now...we wait!
