Weather is ramping up here, but we are still safely tied to the dock:
It is pouring (not just raining) and with consistent wind at 20-30 kts.
Morning report:
The decision for today is to stay hunkered at the docks south of Great Bridge Lock. Current weather is rain with windgusts to 20 kts. even in this sheltered area. Weather only 10 miles north of our position, in Norfolk, is much more extreme. How glad to be inside on the ICW, and not offshore in heavy seas and winds!
Below, a NASA Oct 27th satellite image of Sandy, now being called the "Frankenstorm". It is easy to see how vast a region this storm covers -- essentially one third of the entire northeast US.
