Haverstraw NY, Storm!

Saturday October 28, 2006

We are still safely in the Haverstraw marina, on a better dock than yesterday. Bob the dock master has been a great help and has opened up slip that is even better protected for us. As you can see from the pictures there is a good storm brewing here! The national Weather Service as given a coastal water forecast for the New York Harbor to the Long Island sound and to Sandy Hook NJ including out 20 nautical miles offshore. The forecast reads as follows: Storm warning in effect until 3pm EDT this afternoon followed by Gale warning now in effect from 3pm EDT this afternoon through Sunday evening. The winds started out of the SE at 25 to 40 knots with gusts to 50 knots. Tonight the winds will shift to west and will blow from 20 to 30 knots with gust to 55 knots. Sunday will be the same, and by Monday afternoon all will be over.

Just wanting to let everyone know that we are more than safe where we are and we will be waiting out the storm here. Our plans are to set sail on Monday for New York City to the 79th street boat basin where Annie & I will wait for our crew to show up.

Till soon,
Annie & Eric

Most of the docks are under water from the storm surge, stuff floating everywhere.

Rather you than ME!!!
Love your blog Annie and Eric. So great to have all your news and the pictures are super. I really feel that I am travelling along with you ..... even saw the video .... it sounded so bad that perhaps I am glad that I am not travelling along with you. Sending you both lots of love and wishes for clear skies, sunny days and calm seas. luv, hugs and kisses Fay xxxx
