I'll be fishing at Lake Ontario this Fri-Sat. So, I'm going to the boat after work today to secure and add some more dock lines and check the bilge pumps. Not much more I can do.  :P

I'm on the fence.  My biggest concern is the surge of water, if it floats the docks right over the pilings.   :headscra:

You know, when it's normal high tide I'm looking down at the top of the pilings from my boat.  During the full moon/new moon high tides there's only about 2.5-3 feet of the dock pilings sticking out.  Add in the storm surge, the fact that New Moon is Monday, and the potential of waves that may start swaying the docks enough to get it to come apart or over a piling......to me that's just cutting it too close.  If we were in a neap tide I might have taken the chance.

I'm leaving Fluka in.. figuring with the Keansburg floodgate giving protection from the surge, I am safer in the slip.. rather than risk getting blown off blocks in the parking lot..  I know from past storms, Lentze's is used to hosting transients looking to hide out behind the floodgate.. and has plenty of space available.. so maybe an option to pulling for some of the R-Bay faithful... Best of luck everyone!  chrz

Ummm.. scratch that.. With the latest path and projections, and the possible impending evacuation, the marina just called to say they decided to pull all boats out.. fcp  I guess all we can do is batten down, make sure insurance is current, and get the hell out of this things way..Again, best of luck everyone and be safe!
