east beach, westport
Well, it was a lucky break that the flood tide did not coincide with
the storms peak time. The poles would be gonzo.
Its still really cranking, and the surf is giant, so I am wondering what will happen with the next one.

 small craft ? yup, got it.

It will take me about an hour tomorrow to wash all the leaves and debris out of my boat, but 2nd the sentiment: we were lucky! |

I have an update for you. High tide in Buzzards Bay is in about a half hour, and at low tide this afternoon, the water was ABOVE the mean high water mark in almost every part of the Upper Cape along the bay. And the wind is still a sustained 40 SW with gusts well over 60. Trees are down all over Bourne and Falmouth, some roads impassible due to downed trees.
I have no tolerance for bomb throwers spouting politics right now. |

Nah, it wasn't you. I happened to be in Bourne and Falmouth today, and if someone is claiming that it never gusted to more than 45 on the Vineyard today, then I'm raising this:
Because it's STILL gusting more than 45 in freaking Buzzards Bay.
At 4:30 PM there were measured gusts to 66 at Hyannis airport. |
