Well, we're here. We're securely anchored. We have good shelter against winds. The outer bands of Irene are here. Now there's nothing to do but wait. The peak should come in about 12 hours.
Reading the various forecasts is not helpful. On one hand, Irene seems to be weakening and heading further east than thought. That leads me to expect less severe conditions. On the other hand, they just changed the Lake Champlain forecast to double the estimated waves to 12 foot waves. At a period of 1.3 seconds that would be very nasty.
Anyhow, don't worry about us.
Meanwhile we heard from Jeff and Wendy on Calypso that they are OK and the boat is OK despite damage to the marina and the town. I heard on the radio of a 7 foot storm surge in New Bern.
