It seems we are about to get the same weather in a different form.

Looked at the NOAA marine forecast. It looks, on the surface, semi benign.
Wind 15-20 knots, gusts to 25.. small craft warning. On the Chessie that simply means there is wind on the bay. Wave hts 2 ft or less.

Then I go look at the radar and pull down a weather map showing wind and fronts..the grib files I get via radio to the printer. Looked at the NOAA/weather underground/intellicast reports via text on the printer..
well hels bells... it was 79 ysterday 71 today (cloudy) and tomorrow it is 50, 90% chance of torrential downpours and wind of course as the front passes..
I cannot take off again until friday.. Dionysius is scheduled to go on the hard Thurday and Friday H flies off for two yrs to A'stan to contract.
going to be a good ride though.. and D is a heavy weather 52 foot boat.
gues it is time to take my foulies..

Thomas Point Lighthouse CMan Bouy url. Way neat photo of a proper screwpile lighthouse on the page as well as weather data for the time you bring it up.
