The "H" ting... Bill


We pay a price living on a boat in places with mostly perfect weather because when the weather gets bad it gets REALLY BAD! Hurricane Bill, now cruising the neighborhood as a category FOUR hurricane, is a good example. Luckily Bill is tracking to miss us but at a projected 290 miles away at its closest is far too close for comfort.

Made worse of course by various nightmares...


A Mooring's boat looking for a place to anchor which is a nightmare anytime but worse when there might be bad weather...


The fact that the nearest boat to us spent the night of TD Ana dragging around...


Finally when you notice that this is the sort of marlin-spike wonderfulness that some people in the lagoon are betting is "good enough" to stand-up to a Hurricane of wet-your-pants proportions.
