With a notably accurate forecast of no wind I put SPARTINA back in the water this morning. We motored from the ramp on Scuffletown Creek to Downtown Norfolk where I left the boat for some early morning sailing this week and maybe the first part of next week. I won't leave her in the water longer than that as
The Washington Post reports we are in for some potential hurricanes later this month. (Who has ever even heard of the Madden-Julian Oscillation?) From the story:
Atlantic hurricane activity has briefly paused following the unwelcome onslaught of Hurricane Isaias along the East Coast. Conditions look unfavorable for storms over the Atlantic for the next week and a half or so, but that respite won’t last long. There are indications that an active or even hyperactive period of cyclone activity is possible from late August into early September, when atmospheric ingredients will team up in a disconcerting way.
