In the Eye of the Storm - Titusville at a dock

 

It looks like Hurricane Milton has us in its bullseye. It’s predicted to be a Cat 3 at landfall near Tampa and still a Cat 1 when it reaches us on the east coast.Milton will be our 5th hurricane that we’ve been through or near while and it will be our second passage of the eye over us if Milton maintains its projected track.

We decided to not experience the hurricane on the boat, not too comfortable, so we have a room for two nights on Wednesday and Thursday when it’s due at Titusville. We first tried Hampton Inn but found that they tripled their prices just for those two nights!! Talk about price gouging! 

The docks here are massive and we will be tied off so we won’t come into contact with anything fixed. We should be okay. We’re on A dock which is dominated by sailboats. 

I will keep the wind speed instrument turned on for the duration so I’ll have a record of the maximum wind speed. Meanwhile, we’re watching the storm as it barrels towards us!
