Hanna is still a tropical storm this morning. It may strengthen to a minimal hurricane but it will be borderline according to forecasts. The track has been moved slightly to a more northerly course so the current forecast has it moving ashore right at the border between North and South Carolina. Here in Savannah, we’re only under a tropical storm watch and not a hurricane watch.
So it’s probably not necessary to take the boat out at all. It could get banged up a little in strong winds but there shouldn’t be much tidal surge. On the other hand, I’ve got the steak and wine, and who needs an excuse to anchor out for a night in the river? I think I’ll just go anyway.

Well, thankfully the storm didn’t hit us at all in the Savannah area. I did anchor out Thursday night and had a quiet night on the river. Friday, when it became clear that we weren’t even going to get a gust of wind, I came back in. Much ado about nothing, but that’s a good thing.
