Glad you're safe. We're tucked in a slip at Leverick. We'd planned to leave tomorrow for Anegada, but probably will hang around another day because things appear to be settling down by Wednesday.
We were on a ball at Cooper Saturday before the stronger stuff hit and I have to admit I was awake most of the night hoping the ball, my two lines through the pendant, and my cleat hitches would hold.

We stayed at Leverick Saturday nighrt! Slip 18 the MarineMax 443. We were scheduled to stay at Leverick last night, but the dock was rough so we decided to leave around noon. Should have stayed !! Got to Peter at 3:15 pm and there were no balls left exept a super-sketchy one on the south side that had a life preserver as the floater for the pendant. So we decided to power it up to CGB and found plenty of balls. but DAM obviously the bad one.... That was hairy scary. I have the Anchor App volume on full on my phone...

Both times I have found myself adrift it was in gusty conditions on a mooring ball. I much prefer to anchor if the weather forecast is not good. G Noted !
