Preparing for hurricane Sandy

We are safe and sound here in Haverstraw Bay where we will stay until the storm passes.  We were moved to another dock closer to the seawall so are even better protected.  We were lucky to arrive here when we did as they have decided not to take in any transients for the storm; however since we were already here they did not turn us away.

We spent the day getting things ready for the storm which is due to hit tomorrow afternoon or Monday.  There are still a number of boats in the water and owners have been showing up to secure them well.  Tomorrow we will go into town for supplies.  Our friends from Hammertime II have rented a car and offered us a lift so we will be able to stock up.

There is a convention centre on the bay and we were told that if it gets dangerous everyone from the marina will evacuate there to wait out the storm.  Everyone here has been friendly and we are in good company with locals who have been through this before and know what to expect.

Now that we have decent internet connection I will post a few pictures from the last few days on the Hudson River between Waterford and Haverstraw Bay.
