The thunderstorms that couldn't

05 September 2017 | Shadows Marina in Poughkeepsie
Cloudy and muggy
Thunderstorms were predicted for today, so we stayed put. They didn't come until the night. I spent part of the day reading a blog about how to study hurricane weather and resources available to know as much as possible about the path of a hurricane. So I downloaded yet another app to get even more data about weather and played with my apps since I had a real hurricane to use as a test case. To see what a hurricane looked like on my weather apps was pretty cool. Of course, the actual impact is terrible and we plan on visiting these places months after the fact. So to do the rallies that run starting November 1. We will see what happens to our plans.

Tari gave Roger and I haircuts. We put on the headsail for Paradise Hunter. I spent some time cleaning my hull and we went to the grocery store. Uber is a great thing for us. I only needed bread, but $30 later ... and it was buy one loaf get one free!

Tonight it will storm. Rain is predicted for tomorrow, but not storms, so we will leave and try to cut our distance to New York City in half. And watch the path of Irma.
