Time to batten down the hatches. Adding extra bumpers and lines to the boat ... Surfing should be good here Thursday ...

Good luck Paul and everyone further North .. looking like it might pass us by, but too early too tell yet.

If Earl stays off to the east, we should be fine...we still could get anywhere between 35-50 knot winds, in the bay area, as this model shows...

Good luck all of you guys in that area. Hopefully it will pass far to the east.

Fiona projection looking much better now.

Hope Earl changes his mind and bumps off east sooner than NC/SC. If not, based on its projections even us "safe" upstate NY ers might feel him breathing down our necks. Not much room to run on a lake, every shore is a lee shore in a blow like this. Good luck guys down south!

Lake, creek, bay, etc. what the difference. Can't leave - where would I go anyway? Unless I picked up and headed for Miami ...

Outer Banks looking to get a direct hit ...someone here lives in Beaufort ... better get her tied down!

Passing by SC - OBX looking like they'll get hit though.

Danny Bailey - you're in Oriental, right?

Wheres your boat? Good luck!

Well made it thru no problem, just a little wind and very little rain here in the morehead city/beaufort area. I think danny might have gotten it a little worse up in oriental.

We have gotten very little rain and wind where I am at. Looks like west of us and east of us has gotten the rain. I have not checked the boat at Salt Ponds yet. Tide surge is not supposed to be to bad. I will see when I go there.

I hope for the best for the people located up on the East Coast. Looks like they could take a pretty good pounding. Hope it lets up berfore it gets there. I do know that area's on the coast next to the water did get some flooding and damage.
