I'm still in the water.

Monday winds were fantastic! After returning to my mooring, I battened everything down and hope that the winds, predicted to reach 65 mph this afternoon, do not damage her.

Wednesday looks to be a beautiful day to go sailing.

With tornado watches in our area, be sure to strap the boat to the trailer and tie down securely. Being on the hard with the high winds may not be safer, necessarily. Can you put Silverheels in a barn?

What I did was put the boat on its trailer and took it home.
