Tropical Storm Karen is Headed My Way

I am sitting in my boat as she snaps at my dock lines as the wind is starting to build outside.  Yes, I am a bit nervous.  Luckily I have met two other sailors that have found a nice hurricane hole 13 miles up the Biloxi River.  We have already positioned two boats there today and tomorrow morning we will take two more and ride out the storm there.  This will be my first experience with a big storm system.  I have loaded the boat with essential storm goods, beer and sardines, and  a lot of rope and chain.  The storm is supposed to reach us Saturday sometime.  Wish us luck and send good Karma.
