Re: [Cal_Boats] Wicked Wind

I've never been so glad to have my boat out of the water!! Spent 2 hrs before the superbowl and 4 hours the next day throwing snow and ice off of it to get ready for this storm. My cockpit was completely full and I could barely see the tops of the cabintop winches which are 7-8" tall. I have some leaks in my deck so I didn't want water slowly leaking in and then freezing and thawing over and over. Hopefully I've minimized the intrusion. The boat is in Cambridge, Md and it is snowin' and blowin' like mad. Guess what I'm doing tomorrow?? Paul West Adventure Kwest '80 Cal 39 In a message dated 2/10/2010 2:30:37 P.M.

I am working on an 85' Gaff-rigged ketch on the hard in NC and had to re-secure a lot of things that have come un-secured in this wind. The aft salon canvas enclosure has blown all the fasteners off and the clear panels have been cracked/blown out down the middle. 45 knot gusts are a conservative estimate. Just a heads up folks. The snow is only a part of what you are going to get. Good luck!

My complete sympathies are with all you guys. I'm snowed in at the motel so wont get access to the boat till tomorrow or possibly the next day. Went out yesterday and shoveled her clean. The wind up here is brutal. Good to be indoors. Here's what BayBreeze looked like a few days ago, in about 4-6 inches of ice...;) http://picasaweb.google.com/svbaybreeze/20100207#5435959360089804850

Me too, Paul. Sunday when we were in the yard, it was already 3 feet deep.....based on my personal yard tonight, where the wind has actually rerouted the 3 foot deep ditch I dug...how does that happen?... I am going to try to get up there tomorrow to see what I can do... I hate Florida...but it is looking really good right now...now if I can just figure out how to kick out my long term tenants......
