We are headed in to the dock... Running from tropical storm... Soon to be hurricane Isaac. Calling for it to possibly build to a category 3 storm by the time it makes landfall. Gulf of Mexico is not a good place to be for the next few days!!! At least the oil companies are on board nowadays and don't make us stay out til the last minute!!
We haven't been in to the dock for almost 2 months now, so... A little dock time sounds good!! It's already getting bumpy out here... And it hasn't even hit the Keys yet!! Thank god they have seen the light on how dangerous these storms are!
Run Squeaky......... Run!!!

I am looking forward to the rain that we should but the wind that comes with these storms can make life hard. The local weather folk are saying we will have to deal with this storm from Tuesday-Friday but could get 5 to 6'' of rain.

Stay safe Jerry. I know you will enjoy your time on shore.

Watching this on the weather makes me nervous - would hate seeing it chasing me out the back window of a boat! Get your butt in to that dock!!!~

I am hunkered down in Galveston.... Snug as a jig in my vise!! Now... We wait it out! Hope all my friends and family are smart enough to leave! Katrina is why I now live in East Texas... Don't wish that destruction on anyone.... I lived through it once... It sucks!!
Be safe Adam!!!
