once Earl blows through.

Hi, Rummy,
Thanks for the concern.I was a bit nervous but I think I'll be OK.
I'm tucked back into a creek (facing west) off a river which is off the
Potomac, on the VA side.. ..In fact, boaters will bring their boats back here
to anchor in a blow...I left the boat at the dock, but doubled lines &
secured main & jib. I can only reach about 5' up the jib...but w/a boat hook I
got a line about 10' up & wrapped the jib to keep it from unfurling. I
have a sort of cat's cradle of lines, so I'm good for about 3-4' above high
tide...
I added additional fenders, turned the rudder to leeward, and also turned
my motor away from the dock so if the stern swings into the dock from the
wind, the motor won't hit the dock putting strain on the lift. Attached to
the stbd (outboard) stern cleat I have a cement block on a line & pulley
which acts as a catenary, holding the stern off the dock and also smoothing
out the action of the wind & waves, as the stbd side is on the NW (open) side
of the creek. Scuppers are clear. I think I've covered everything...Anyone
come up w/anything I've forgotten?
.If the forecast were for more severe weather here I'd haul...here are two
marinas close by.

Elle,
Seems to me that you and several other coastal Rhodies are in for a rough
spell. Are you going to evacuate or ride it out?
