We're on the bay side of eastern shore Maryland. Not too bad so far winds are around 25 to 30 out of the NW. Easy day in my book hopefully flooding will be the worst of our problems.

Scariest ride I ever had was riding out Hurricane Debby at sea near Bermuda in 1982. That was day I though we were all going down. Bridge level was I think 45 feet above water line. Yet so many monsterous waves would tower over us and come crashing down. Such a pounding eventually caved in the focsle and flooded the peak tanks and other compartments. Other times ship would heal so severe, cant count the number of times we must have reached the vanishing point. She would roll and just hang there for what seemed like an enternity, like she was trying making up her mind whether to continue on over and capsize or come back up. Thankfully she would right herself everytime.

S.o.b. we was scared. The oldman sprouted a full head of gray hairs that day.
