A27 Hurricane Prep

From the heart of Tropical Storm Colin. So far 45-50 mph winds, heck of a surge on top of high tide. All lines doubled up. Spring lines on both sides and triple lines on bow. Now sweat. The downside of being in a covered slip is there is no room to rise for the "big one". This is three feet above normal high tide. Had a Kady Krogen lose her radar mast against overhead concrete. If a Category Onor greater comes along I'm going to the mangroves. Note the random collection of bumpers against the piling from earlier picture.

Are you standing in the water?

Just checked - forecast storm surge is only 1 to 3 feet so not too bad.
TS Colin centered SW of Apalachicola heading 30 degrees at 23mph. 60mph gusts in the SE quadrant which should hit you in Tampa.
You should be fine. Good luck.

On the dock which is normally about 3' above water. Now 2 inches above it.
