Battened down and secured

She's as prepared as I can get her. The hatches are battened down, the mainsail's off the boom and stowed in the v-berth as is the bimini, and she's holding on a new 30 pound super hooker danforth type anchor with 35 feet of 3/8" galvanized chain and about 120 feet of 5/8" nylon rode (in addition to the 35 pound plow with similar chain and rode that's her regular mooring hook). As long as none of the other boats in the anchorage break free and foul her anchor she'll be able to take up to Cat 2 without any trouble. As long as Ernesto passes to the west she'll be in protected water. If the wind gets up over 125 mph all bets are off, of course.

Setting the new anchor and getting the boat secured kicked my ass today. I'll be glad when this crud is gone.....
