Good luck Air, and if you need anything, I am only 45 minutes away ;)

We got a good jump on this one. Staff has got it together and it looks like I can caost a bit on this one. As long as we can keep the staff motivated on Friday. I hate weekend problems.

On a better note, local forcast has delayed the strorm 6 hours...might give me a chance to go fishing mid day Saturday. Have to work in the am.

After an "aborted launch" last weekend, I had planned to put in tomorrow for the season, and maybe go check out the Heritage tournament Sunday. Now I'm not so sure . . .

Sat
Se winds 10 to 15 kt...becoming S 15 to 20 kt in the afternoon.
Sun
SW winds 25 to 35 kt early...becoming W 25 to 30 kt.

I will not be fooled again. It was a similar storm last year (but in June) that took out my boat moored in a protected bay. Hopefully a tree won't hit it in the driveway. However, stupid me left the rod boxes off and the boat is uncovered (and I cannot get to it to cover them). I guess I'll have to learn how to drain the foam insulation. It is supposed to rain for days on Cape Cod.

sorry to hear that man, cant you get a hold of a neighbor or something and ask him to throw a tarp over it :-/

I think this warrants a trip to Lewes,
even though I was planning a trip tomorrow,
this gives me a really good excuse.

HAMMER, I will definately see you tomorrow.

Makin' like a sheep-herder and gettin' the flock out??...

No problem Parissht. I start my night shift tonight, give me a ring in the afternoon on Sat. ;)

Well, the good news as of now is that they are calling for NW more than NE. That is a huge help in preventing coastal flooding. If the wind favors NE, I'll be in the V :o

Not the case here in New England: Looks like it will be bad. 25 feet offshore.

NOAA:
HEAVY RAIN SUNDAY INTO MONDAY MAY TOTAL AS MUCH AS 3 TO 5 INCHES.
THIS WOULD PRODUCE SIGNIFICANT URBAN FLOODING...AS WELL AS
WIDESPREAD FLOODING OF RIVERS AND STREAMS. ACROSS THE
INTERIOR...ESPECIALLY IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS...RAIN MAY MIX WITH
OR EVEN CHANGE TO A WINTRY MIX OF RAIN...SLEET AND SNOW WITH
SOME ACCUMULATION.

EAST TO NORTHEAST WINDS WILL BE STRONGEST NEAR THE COAST...WHERE
SUSTAINED WINDS OF 35 MPH ARE POSSIBLE WITH DAMAGING GUSTS UP TO 55
MPH SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. THERE IS A LOW PROBABILITY OF GUSTS
REACHING 65 MPH ON THE IMMEDIATE COAST...ESPECIALLY NEAR CAPE COD AND
THE ISLANDS.

IN ADDITION...THE STORM WILL BRING AN INCREASED THREAT OF
SIGNIFICANT AND PROLONGED COASTAL FLOODING BEGINNING SUNDAY NIGHT.
THE COMBINATION OF HIGH ASTRONOMICAL TIDES...PERSISTENT ONSHORE
WINDS AND HIGH SEAS JUST OFFSHORE COULD PRODUCE AT LEAST MODERATE
COASTAL FLOODING IN SEVERAL HIGH TIDE CYCLES SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH
TUESDAY. SIGNIFICANT BEACH EROSION IS ALSO POSSIBLE.

FOR THE MARINE COMMUNITY...STORM FORCE WINDS ARE POSSIBLE SUNDAY
NIGHT INTO TUESDAY WITH SEAS BUILDING AS HIGH AS 25 FEET OFFSHORE.

PEOPLE IN SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...ESPECIALLY MARINERS AND THOSE WITH
INTERESTS NEAR THE COAST AND ALONG RIVERS AND STREAMS...ARE STRONGLY
ADVISED TO PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE LATEST STATEMENTS AND
FORECASTS ON THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS COASTAL STORM. LISTEN TO
NOAA ALL HAZARDS WEATHER RADIO OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA.
