Water Phantom is at anchor (actually 2!) out in the creek near her slip at Blackbeard Sailing Club near New Bern, NC. Our club requires ‘big’ boats to vacate our slips when a hurricane warning is issued locally. Usually she is on the hard for bottom work during hurricane season but not this year. The club provides water taxis to/from the anchorage before and after the storm but for now, she is on her own facing the storm. Fortunately Isaias, like most hurricanes, will pass quickly and at barely hurricane strength, unlike Florence which blew from the East/southeast for days. Her strong winds piled up the Pamlico Sound water into the upper Neuse virtually destroying her dock as well as the town of New Bern among others. Between reducing her windage and the double anchors, she at the mercy of the storm and LUCK—I am pretty confident that her anchors will hold. She needs LUCK to avoid being hit by boats whose anchor(s) may not hold and crash into her. Of course, there is always my insurance! Charlie NelsonWater PhantomC&C 36 XL/kcb

Forecast here is for about 25-30 from the east, which is actually a fun day sailing from here. What worries me is the several times the actual storm is a lot worse.
