Fall River - Weather Day

Today was the worst day of the storm. Hurricane Hermine moved closer to shore. Winds were in the 20s all day and gusts were in the 40s. The highest recorded reading was 48 mph. Waves were 2 footers in our protected harbor most of the day. We didn't leave the boat and just rode it out. Carla did some cleaning. We also read and watched DVDs on the computer. We had to move our portable generator to the companion way entrance (midship) to keep it running. There was too much movement at the stern and it would start surging when the boat's rocking got above a certain point. The storm was about as bad as the Nor'easter we rode out in St. Augustine last December at the end of the SAIL ICW Rally. We are relieved that the mooring ball is holding.
