Arthur

SHIP'S LOG:

     Friday was a wash-out as the effects of Hurricane Arthur smacked the east coast. we got lots of rain, down pours of 10-15 minutes, followed by longer periods of light rain, followed by more down pours. The wind was in the high 20's with gust to the mid-30's, but with the track of Arthur, that was as bad as it got. Block Island, Nantucket, the rest of the islands and the Cape got bashed pretty good but the storm had weakened considerably by the time it got here ans was far enough off shore so we got but a taste.

   I spent the night ashore in the clubhouse as I just wasn't in the mood for rock-&-roll all night long. I didn't sleep well on the floor, I guess I must be getting old.  The wind is still up but the skies are clear and there is a Club Race today. They won't complain about lack of wind that's for sure. It should be a good time.
