We've had gusts to 55 or 60 in SE Florida, but really nothing more than a
long, rainy day. Didn't bother boarding up.
Took a looonng nap this afternoon after prepping the boat and taking home
the roller furling jib, which needed some restitching on the protective
cover. Did that while watching an old movie.
Hopefully, the storm will stay weak as it heads up the Gulf. You folks on
the Gulf coast have suffered enough.

Thanks, Colin
We just got in from Pensacola. 2 1/2 days of really great sailing. Averaged
6.5 knots for the 164 nm trip. Even if Pensacola escapes, Touche's slip in
Bayou Castine in Mandeville is very protected and I'd rather be here than
anywhere on the coast.
Did a bunch of storm prep after docking. Spider webbed the dock lines across
the neighboring slips, dropped the headsail, took all halyards forward to
the toe rails, etc. Staying on boat tonight and will finish pulling canvas,
mainsail, and other stuff tomorrow.
Already experiencing spot shortages and outages on fuel and supplies as
people stock up.
Bit of ironic deja vu, Hurricane Katrina devastated NOLA on August 29.
Isaac will also make landfall on August 29.
Let's hope the French Quarter and Pat O'brien's survive.
Prayers and best wishes to all in Isaac's path.

Good luck to Dennis and the other Gulf Coasters & Ponchartrainers. (And
of course... all of NOLA - even if they're not C&C'ers)
Be safe.
Cheers,
Colin
