As we just returned from our summer trip to the north, the "NoKaOi 3" is still safely on the trailer and tucked in under roof.   We are getting winds and high surf.  From past experience it is much easier to pull early to avoid dropping the mast in high winds and loading on the trailer when the water is "stirred up."  Yes, we pulled a couple of times over the years when the storm gave us a pass but it was also an excuse to do a hull and bottom cleaning.

Guys,

Here's what I've been finding...not much help yet:

The location of the storm’s landfall is very important for determining exactly what local impacts will be. Not everyone will experience significant or dangerous storm conditions. But suffice to say, coastal regions from the Carolinas through eastern Canada are likely to get battered by tremendous surf and face a real risk of significant to severe coastal flooding. This storm will be a slow mover meaning large waves may pound the coast for lengthy time periods. Not to mention, the wind and waves will raise the water level, bringing ashore a multiple foot storm surge in regions close to where the storm makes landfall (assuming it does so).

Hi, guys,

I've been watching the storm & am of two minds (right now) if I will need to haul my boat....

I'm not finding good info yet....it appears the storm will stay off the coast with the high wind affecting us....what concerns me is water being pushed up the bay & backing up in the creeks...with Isabel the tops of my dock pilings were covered...about 7' of water...

Hauling is the safest option...and the B/US pay half option will kick in.....

So...what are you seeing/hearing about the storm? What is your experience telling you? What are your thought about what you'll do?
