I just want to check in cause you guys are my Woman looking casual sex Lakewood peeps and should not worry about me. I got in the que early yesterday morning and they finally hauled me late yesterday. I have charged the batteries, emptied the side water tanks, filled the central water tank and added another 75 or so gals in the lowest part of my bilge to give me more ballast down low, the boat has been totally stripped of anything on deck that would create windage (sails, bimini, outboard, dinghy, grill, etc) Yes, even the whipping stick has been stowed. I have freed my CQR from her roller and have 60 feet of heavy chain that be deployed if I should get pushed over or float free from the surge. I have tested the strobe on both mine and Crickey's life jackets and have plenty of water and food aboard for us. I can't think of anything to do . this is the hard part the waiting. Prepare for the worst and for the best. I am sending you all the best. "I ya." Be safe!!! HOLD FAST!!!! Arrgh, now how about one of those .er, um cocktails (I prefer to not it a HURRICANE.)
