We bailed...
The forecast of very high NW winds and temps below freezing overnight tonight drove us off the island this morning. The boat was tied well and breakwater protected.... But you never know about some freak thing happening. The water that will be coming over the breakwater could get into the boat and we would rely on the bilge pump. The water spray and freezing temps.... Risky
The greatest fear, however, is power loss. Three days of no power in chilly temps would not be fun! It is ok in the middle of the summer when Cooking outside is easy.
If you have not been on the island in high wind... This might not be the weekend to be your first.
