Clewiston, Weather Day 5

We Planned (and God laughs) on one night at Roland's but had four more Weather Days. However, this storm is the worst for Florida in 120 years. The marina never lost power (switching to propane heat and cooking in the cabin would be a pain and not very safe) so we're thanking our lucky stars.

An aside:
We've gone under a lot of RR bridges, but we avoid getting under a train like avoiding COVID. I once had to pass the DOT HAZMAT course test required of locomotive engineers etc. You wouldn't believe what some of those tank cars (especially) are carrying...Benzene, Molten Sulfur, Sulfuric Acid, etc etc.

If one is leaking Something, you don't won't it in or on or near your boat. So just wait for the train to pass.

NOAA Marine and Windy Blue version and Local Knowledge all predict the wind will settle down to 10-15 with gusts to 20 tomorrow, with a high of only 55 with fog and mist. We don't have a cabin heater (other than propane Lil Buddy) so we plan on four layers and keeping the cabin buttoned up. We need gas, but be aware that many marina fuel docks refuse to allow dipensing in the rain (so you won't blame them for water in their fuel). We'll see how that goes.

Hope everyone is doing OK with this record setting snow storm!
