Here it comes
Fall is about to arrive, and in full force.
...GALE WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON...
.TODAY...SOUTH WINDS 5 TO 10 KT BECOMING WEST. CHANCE OF SHOWERS. WAVES 1 TO 3 FT.
.TONIGHT...WEST WINDS AROUND 10 KT INCREASING TO 10 TO 20 KT. WAVES 1 FT TO 3 FT.
.SUNDAY...SOUTHWEST WINDS 10 TO 20 KT INCREASING TO 30 KT. WAVES 1 TO 3 FT BUILDING TO 3 TO 5 FT IN THE AFTERNOON.
.SUNDAY NIGHT...SOUTHWEST GALES TO 35 KT BECOMING WEST GALES TO 40 KT. SHOWERS LIKELY. WAVES 4 TO 6 FT BUILDING TO 8 TO 11 FT OVERNIGHT.
.MONDAY...WEST GALES TO 45 KT BECOMING NORTHWEST. CHANCE OF SHOWERS. WAVES 9 TO 12 FT BUILDING TO 12 TO 16 FT.
.MONDAY NIGHT...NORTHWEST GALES TO 45 KT. WAVES 12 TO 16 FT.
.TUESDAY...NORTHWEST GALES TO 40 KT BECOMING NORTH WINDS OF 10 TO 15 KT. WAVES 10 TO 14 FT SUBSIDING TO 3 TO 6 FT.
Our marina, situated as it is just off the main channel, turns into a mixing bowl with prolonged winds blowing out of the W and NW. This system likely will make life pretty interesting for the next couple of days. Chances are I'll be spending the night aboard Sunday and Monday. I stopped by West Basin Marina yesterday in the hope of procuring a temporary slip for Ariel, but the marina is in the process of rebuilding docks, reducing the already limited number of slips available.
It looks like haulout may need to be scheduled soon, perhaps October 9th.
