Hurricane Sandy

 I hope everyone in the mid-Atlantic and Atlantic NorthEast regions fared OK with Sandy.

Here on the Chesapeake, we largely dodged a bullet.  Dolce Vita came through fine.

I just saw an article in Practical Sailor by Alma's owner Gene Smith in NJ on how he saved his 323 from disaster on-the-hard by beefing up its blocking with a pair of homemade jackstands.  Way to go Gene!  Glad to hear you made it through OK!
