| 1107.7 | The Hurricane Note | DONVAN::DECAROLIS | Just HIT It | Fri Oct 12 1990 14:00 | 23 |
|
Seems we have a hurricane brewing, Hurricane Lilly. Currently,
Lilly is heading west, but forecasters are predicting a
northerly track once she meets the coastline due to upper level winds
traveling in that direction. So, that could mean Lilly
might come up and see us later on this weekend. Or, she
may head straight into the Carolinas and burn out. Winds
are presently gusting at 75MPH.
The weathermen have advised boaters to stay tuned
in case this hurricane reaches New England. Seeing how my
boat is still in the water, with a manual bilge, I'm
slightly nervous! Not to mention, this puts a real
damper on ski plans for the weekend! :>)
There are also two tropical depressions, Marcos and
Klaus in the near vacinity.

| Jeanne,
Do you know what effect these storms may have on northern
New England? Namely northern Vermont? :-)

| RE: Jeanne
Seems like there's a pretty simple answer to your concerns...yank it out of the
water! Get your buns up to Attitash, put the boat on the trailer and batten
down the hatches. :-) At least there's a good chance we won't see your boat on
the local news like the ones we saw at Hull, Mass. when Gloria hit.

| Ric,
Let's hope not! But you know, before hurricanes hit, everything
gets real still, that would make for some excellent footin'
conditions!
Yea Roger, if I see this storm getting as close as New Jersey,
the boat goes into the garage!

| Last I heard, the Navy was high tailing it outa there with anything
that floated or flew. Recreational types were either trailering or
adding mooring lines and dropping extra anchors.

The T.V. said that at Cape Hatteras, all non-essential Coast Guard
personnel (Non-SAR?) were also

| 1107.11 | Protection from Hurricanes | SOLVIT::SOARNG::TIMMONS | | Mon Aug 14 1995 09:20 | 10 |
| With news of a "possible" huricane here in New England and this being
the first year my boat, motor and trailer does not have the luxury of a
garage, I started thinking of how I could protect it while sitting in
my backyard from damage.
I am trying to decide whether I should cover it with my "heavy
duty, withstands high winds" silver tarp the same way I did in the
winter (tent like, backbone over the length of the boat) or just wrap
it tight over the deck/windshield to minimize the "sail" effect.
Any ideas or thoughts out there? Thought this might be a good note
to interchange some ideas.

| Wrap it up. Get some mobile home screw-in anchors and tie it to
the ground. Make sure it's not next to something that can fall
on it (trees, telephone poles, etc.). Pray.
