Hanna is upon us
Now only a tropical storm Hanna is pushing 50 knots maxand here in the cove I feel an occasional 40. The boat is fine sheltered from the surging water so far. High tideand a strong complementary breeze is a few more hours away.

...tracking Hanna

Trying to decide if I can pick up my boat in the face of the first of three named winds coming our way in the next fortnite.
Saturday I should be in Solomons after sailing since daylight from the Northern Neck.
Sunday is the last leg getting into the marina before dark and should be windless.
Great sailing albeit rainy is forecast for Saturday but after a boisterous Friday overnight as Hanna's remains scatter across the area.

Here is a sistership underway.

She has a very roomy layout:
