There is an increasing chance that we will feel the effects of Hurrican Sandy some time next week. If this one grows as some models predict, it could be a very nasty storm.

Remember that it is YOUR responsibility to ensure that your boat is secure. Add extra lines and stow anything that can blow around. You can be held responsible for damage an unsecured boat does to others.

Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst!

For ONCE I am happy to say that my boat is out of the water and secure on land. Had a funny feeling about this season . . .

My thoughts exactly. Mine is on it's trailer in my yard. Glad I took it out early.
 
I'm just not mentally ready to pull the boat out yet. Going inside an older aluminum shed could prove more costly then riding out in my slip. I do wish there were a few more boats around to knock down the waves/current . Sadly most of my dock mates have left for the season. Hey Dave- the 17 feet at low tide you often mention could be over 20!
 
With that much surge maybe Hogan can come or go at low tide!

I'm guessing tomorrow is going to be a mad rush to haul boats.
 
They have a post on FB about getting hauled out

Hank,
Maybe I should come over and keep you company and to make sure nothing happens to the docks.

Plenty of room over here. I actually highly suggest you come over. I'm sure since you are coming next year they would accommodate you.
 
I just heard there is a mandatory evacuation for Fire Island as of tomorrow at 2PM. This is going to get ugly quick.

Great time to go for a walk now because not sure I will be able to get out much over the next few days.
 
One of our members is holed up at Haverstraw Marina to ride it out.
Glad he cleared the Erie Canal in time.
 
Yes if he is coming South, he would not want to be in the system if it floods. Many folks were held up last year.
 
If you have to be stuck someplace on the Hudson at least he picked a good spot!
Strong docks and reasonably tall poles to deal with the flooding.
 
Moved on to the main dock. I was the only one left on the end of blue. Ready to ride it out. What a great day it was up there had to be 70 degrees. I guess that's the calm before the storm.
 
We moved over to Minnesceongo, good protection and tall pilings. I think we made the right move, plus, it's really nice over here....

Haverstraw not taking transients.

Giggity is home, and should be safe.

This one is looking really ugly...
 
"We moved over to Minnesceongo, good protection and tall pilings"

We stay there a day or so almost every trip up the Hudson - I think the great ring of heavy rocks and earth with a very narrow entry will serve you well on this one. Most poles are tall and newer and set well and the northern docks are all new. I would guess that many of their boats are pulled this time of year allowing even more options to cross tie lines. The ability to 'hide' behind such a small entrance may become very valuable after the 1st few hours if/when 'stuff' comes loose and begins to ping pong around.This may be a long wind and flood event and I for one like your choice.
Hope this helps

Mike- You called Haverstraw and they said no? Seems odd.

I was told haverstraw felt that to best protect docks and existing boats that they did not want any more big ones coming in.
