Hard Blowing Nor'easter St. Augustine Moorings

We are in the grip of a strong Nor'easter with winds in the upper twenties and gusts into the thirties. All the boats on moorings are rocking and rolling. There are whitecaps in the harbor and rigging is singing. Waves outside the St. Augustine Inlet are 8 - 10 feet.

We decided not to dingy in for the final SAIL ICW Rally briefing because of the high winds and waves. We had a rough day on the boat and did not get much sleep.  The winds blew hard all night. We know what is meant by the phrase: "shiver me timbers".  Strong gusts shook the mast so hard it caused it to tremble and the rigging to groan.  The forecast is no change for at least two more days.
