You should axe your governor.

What do you consider drastic? I've spent the last 48 hours hauling boats, floats, docks, and gear. Still have a long way to go.
Good luck with the umbrella.
:lol:
That umbrella really tied the patio together

including the boats on blocks.
The news is going nuts tonight. We have a lot to do in VT. Stuff is ok in CT. We'll button things up there later tomorrow.
Lighter traffic heading up to VT tonight. Hopefully, it'll be light tomorrow for the trip south.
Be safe everyone.

Hey Cannonball
just curious, where do you store the baby Oysters for an event like this? How long can you keep them in such a facility?

Walk-in coolers for a 1-2 days. Have to temporarily breakdown a nursery. Hauling out as late as possible tomorrow. Which is mostly out of my control, more based on tides and travel lift availability. Will breakdown, haul out, cold-store, then hope to be back up and running in the water by Monday.
Second stage nursery is out in the water. That's too much gear and product to haul.
Just have to hope for the best. That has the opposite problem most people are worried about. In that case, it's the 50kt SE at LOW tide that will be the killer. Waves tend to roll past the gear on the highs...beat it up on the lows. Not much to do but drink a coldie and watch from the shore.
These are the ones stressing me right now.....

How is the surf looking? Worth taking a ride for?
Good luck getting everything out safely.
Not much change...except maybe Greenland might be spared! :lol:

I get all of my weather info here. Still waiting on the Marshfield surf report. Brant Rock is like glass. I assume the same for The Riviera.

Flat-ass calm on Buzzards Bay. I just mowed the crabgrass. I can't believe how humid it is.

Same here in town. No wind. Real Sticky. Quiet in the Inner Harbor.
Cannonball is busting his ass. I hope this thing isn't overblown. Better safe than sorry.
Where are the live reports from VT?:evil:

No surf anywhere in Marshfield right now. Barely any wind and SW at that.
Interesting differences around the South Shore right now. I was at the harbors in Kingston, Duxbury, and Green Harbor (Marshfield) this morning. Kingston and Dux are going crazy with hauling boats. Hundreds of boats and all of the floats came out of Duxbury in the past 3 days. But in Green Harbor pretty much all of the boats are still in. Some prep is going on but not even close to the level of Duxbury and Kingston.
I'm out. All my gear is either hauled or tucked safely away. Now just wait and watch. About 20 oyster floats and town docks rafted together make for a great place to ride out the storm....

Yeah, it's been 3 days of ass busting. Done now! PBR tallboys calling to me.
On the one had you hate to do it for nothing. On the other hand I'd be plenty happy to see the thing fizzle and not do any damage. But I do like a good storm....
