It was a quick trip to the boat today. We knew the tarp was going to be ripped up and had to come down, but we didn't realize how bad. The tarp was shredded. We get a wicked northern wind where Sand Dollar is standing and just keeps blowing. We got the tarp down, cut off the PVC and picked up the mess. It took us a couple of hours. We then covered the portlights up with makeshift 'plugs' to prevent water from getting in worse that it was. We didn't notice but the cap where the chain comes out was left off. So, the water went right into the bilge. The boat is sitting with the bow slightly down, so it didnt' run out. Ah well. At least it is only a couple of inches and not feet!

I brought a half dozen totes full of food and boat items so we should be pretty much set to go when we start coming down regularly. Now, lets hope the mice have already been fed and there won't be any snackers!
