Danny,

There is a great chart book sold at West for about $50.  Comprehensive charts 
and descriptions of all harbors and their attractions and 
mooring/docking/anchoring and of course contact frequencies, phone numbers, 
costs, etc.  It is in a volume for Cape Cod to Maine and NYC to Nantucket, I 
believe.  Just bought both this summer for comprehensive coverage of all of the 
cruising grounds I frequent.  Also, similar books of charts and including a CD 
with electronic charts to cover the region you are cruising to.  My wife and I 
have already been to MV twice this summer and are going out on the 8th of Sept, 
but probably only as far as Watch Hill.  I highly recommend Menemsha at the 
southern tip of the Island next to Gay Head.  A fishing village with great 
beaches, lobster houses, coffee shop "Beetlebung", a general store, and few 
other small and charming shops.  Very quiet.

Dennis, good luck. I feel for you - we did what Joe did when Isabel came up the 
Bay. But, we expected more wind than we got and moved most of the boats in the 
marina (small ones came out) and tied them facing the expected wind. Mine was 
strung between six pilings - ninety degrees from its usual spot. 

I was clever - had extra long (double) lines to these pilings (one at the end 
of a finger pier) and rigged a line to move the boat over to the pier so I 
could get off and another to re-center it in between. Unfortunately, as I was 
making my last trip off the boat and onto the pier, I pulled the wrong line! 
Did the splits as the boat was moving away from the pier.... finally gave up 
and went swimming. Cute.

Hope your scheme has been thought out better than mine.

  Touche' is set for at least 6-7 feet of surge.  Forecast is for 8-9 feet of 
surge in Lake Borgne which is connected to Lake Pontchartrain through The 
Rigolets and the Industrial Canal in New Orleans.  I have 5/8 inch dock line 
run to a point high on my neighbors' pilings about 20 feet from Touche's bow 
chock.  The stern lines are also "spiderwebbed" 10-12 feet further out to 
points high on pilings to permit the boat to rise.  When I left the boat at 11 
am this morning, the water was up about 1.33 feet.  The bow dock lines were 
nearly horizontal.  The stern lines actually slope downward slightly to the 
transom cleats.  6-7 more feet of rise over 20 feet of dock line isn't much 
angle.  It's similar to letting out more anchor rode.  Further, since the lines 
remain close to horizontal, the boat will remain centered in the slip.  For any 
interested parties, you can monitor the water level in Lake Pontchartrain at:  

   

  
<http://www2.mvr.usace.army.mil/WaterControl/shefgraph-wotem2.cfm?sid=85575&d=7&dt=S>

   

  Many of my pier neighbors simply double their lines on their existing 
pilings.  6 feet of surge will have their lines pulling almost straight up.  
After Katrina, the rope marks on my neighbor's pilings were at about 60 
degrees.  That means the cleats were under a lot of stress.  Also, with dock 
lines close to vertical, the boat will move side to side in the slip.  With a 
beam wind, the boat could pound on the midships piling and get holed.  
Fortunately, we are far enough up the bayou that there isn't any wave action.

   

  Other steps were:

   

  Remove sails and canvas

  Tie bimini bows to deck and backstay

  Tie boom side to side

  Clip halyards to toe rail forward so they don't slap on the mast or spreaders

  Doubled spring line

  Moved boat forward in slip to align Touche's bow with its neighbors.  We 
normally sit deeper in our slip.  If we stayed in the same spot, our 
spiderwebbed bowlines would chafe on the neighbor's bow.  Bad!

   

  Also emptied the dock box.  It will flood.  I keep most of the items in 
buckets or tubs so the box can be emptied in 3-4 trips.  I installed a drain 
from an Igloo ice chest in the bottom of the dock box.  I normally leave the 
cap on it.  For surge events where I know it will flood, I remove the cap.  The 
box floods then emptied as the water retreats.  I simply hose it out and then 
wipe it dry with a rag.

   

  When you've been through these darn things a few times, you learn how to deal 
with them.  Irritating as it is, you deal with it.

   

  Hopefully, Touche' and its neighbors will ride out the storm without damage.  

   

  More importantly, let's hope the residents in the impact areas escape injury 
and property damage.  We don't need another Katrina!!!

Joe,

Ditto. I swap ends also.? Touche's normal dock lines use the eyes on the boat's 
cleats.? Touche's storm lines, however, are rigged with the eyes on the pilings 
and are cleated on the boat with figure eights to allow for adjusting.

Crazy as it seems, there are people that cruise the bayou in dinghies adjusting 
people's dock lines during the storm.? Have to use dinghies because the marinas 
will be flooded.

Boats that are moored on bulkheads side to put lines across the bayou to 
trees.? At the latest moment, one of the dinghy cruisers will tighten the lines 
to pull the boat away from the bulkhead.? This, of course, makes the bayou 
impassable.? But by that time, every boat should be tucked away.

Good Luck to all on the northern Gulf Coast. FWIW - Ft Myers was pretty much
untouched- just a couple of 40+ gusts and 20+ and squally for a day and 1/2.
The back side has been more of an issue. Front side just blew the water out of 
the river, the boat sat nicely on the bottom and we had a couple of inches of 
rain.  Back side pushed the water back up the river and over my dock by about 
1'. Still there this AM. Amazed at the rain the East coast of FL got yesterday 
- given that Isaac was well out in the Gulf on this side.
Very broad storm - hopefully it'll stay spread out instead of winding in - 
better that lots are inconvenienced than some get creamed. Pay attention to the 
backside and let it get well on its way before you start unwinding. 
Be safe!

Hello all,

It seems strange that I'm preparing for a cruise while other are hunkering down 
for a big blow.  Best of Luck to you all in Issac's path!

I've finally got Lolita out and sailing on Sunday.  Things went very well (with 
the exception of a temp alarm going off falsely...)  The A4 runs beautifully, 
we didn't have a a lot of wind but I managed to get about 5 knots out of her at 
points but I have to say, she moved along a 2 knots in very little wind.  It 
was a good day for the initial sail and great to be out of the marina!!!

I'm also having a little trouble finding charts of this area.  There is 
Narragansett bay to cuttyhunk to block island but I'm going to be a bit east of 
that.  I'm looking for Buzzards bay, Elizabeth Islands, Martha's vineyard and 
Nantucket (I once knew a man from there...), Any one know if there is book that 
covers all that?

So, we're planning to head out to Martha's vineyard on Saturday for a week!  I 
just picked up a new Rocna 33# galvanized anchor from defender for $299.99.  I 
found this to be a great price and I'm not finding any negative feedback from 
this anchor.  It's funny as the info I am finding from a few years ago 
indicated the Rocna was pretty expensive and people were going with a Manson.  
Which is a very similar design but was supposed to be quite a bit cheaper.  
Turns out I'm getting the Rocna for about $50 less than the Manson.

Anyway, I just wanted to share something other than working on the boat 
questions...  LOL

Danny,

Congrats!  You still have a couple months of great sailing ahead of you.
 Hope you have a great trip!

For planning you can use activecaptain or download the NOAA charts and OpenCPN. 
 There must be a book for the Cape and the Islands.  Maybe David knows of it?

If you make it to Nantucket the Lobster Trap will deliver to your mooring - 
Meals on Keels!

Dennis:

Greetings from the South shore of of Lake Pontchartrain. On Sunday, I vacated 
my 30' slip on the west side of the harbor for a 50' or more slip on the east 
side. Multiple spider lines all around. There are no boats close to me to break 
loose and be blown down on the boat. When I did my prep, it totally amazed me 
at the number of boats that were not being attended to. Makes me wonder why 
people spent the amount of money and effort to re-populate the harbor with 
boats after Katrina. I guess it is obvious when so many boats are never sailed. 

Good luck,

Around here about 50-60% of people do NOTHING :(
Keeps me and everyone else that stays on their boats busy.

Dennis:

Greetings from the South shore of of Lake Pontchartrain. On Sunday, I vacated 
my 30' slip on the west side of the harbor for a 50' or more slip on the east 
side. Multiple spider lines all around. There are no boats close to me to break 
loose and be blown down on the boat. When I did my prep, it totally amazed me 
at the number of boats that were not being attended to. Makes me wonder why 
people spent the amount of money and effort to re-populate the harbor with 
boats after Katrina. I guess it is obvious when so many boats are never sailed.

Good luck,

Joe,

Ditto. I swap ends also.  Touche's normal dock lines use the eyes on the boat's 
cleats.  Touche's storm lines, however, are rigged with the eyes on the pilings 
and are cleated on the boat with figure eights to allow for adjusting.

Crazy as it seems, there are people that cruise the bayou in dinghies adjusting 
people's dock lines during the storm.  Have to use dinghies because the marinas 
will be flooded.

Boats that are moored on bulkheads side to put lines across the bayou to trees. 
 At the latest moment, one of the dinghy cruisers will tighten the lines to 
pull the boat away from the bulkhead.  This, of course, makes the bayou 
impassable.  But by that time, every boat should be tucked away.

During Isabel some idiots left lines tied to cleats bolted to the dock planks. 
Of course the surge pulled the planks right off the dock :(
I - having learned from Hurricane David the hard way - didn't use my normal 
dock lines with spliced loops. For Isabel I was able to let the lines in and 
out without climbing off the boat and risking tripping or breaking an ankle on 
the pulled up planks mentioned earlier.

Best of Luck - I'll throw some rum in the bay to placate King Neptune.
