T&T: Prep for TS Hanna

[BillEGates at aol.com]

Other than the repair of your outboard, you should fire up the blender.
I've had my boats live through 5 hurricanes on moorings in Newport RI.
Just a hint, for the best ride attach to your mooring ball as low as you can
on your boat,
with safety bridles from the ball to the deck, just in case. You should be
fine, the winds are not forecast at this point to be of hurricane force.
