Preparations Complete

All of our storm preparations are complete. The storm has been downgraded slightly, coming ashore in NC with 85 knot winds. Last night we doubled our lines, wrapped a halyard around our headsail furler, stripped off the dodger canvas, put out some fenders between our boat and our neighbor, and stowed loose items below. At home we sandbagged our basement window, which tends to flood in strong rains, and brought in our patio furniture. Now we wait.
