This is the low with future name of Julia, promised to have a fast and short life, but powerful and very wet. Suriname and Trinidad reported flash flooding, Tobago high gale force winds. She still has 24 hours to go before we get it, the left most island in the red circle. 6 inches of rain expected, 40+Knot winds forecast. Will go and give the boat another set of spring-lines on top of the 2 she already has on port and starboard sides. Time we need to buy. The worst storm conditions will likely take about 3 hours so in that time the three spring-lines on both sides should suffice to hold the swell. Storm are different when you have a boat in harbor. Even more different if you are in a boat on the ocean.
