Well, it’s looking worse and worse for us here in Isla Mujeres, the storm is now slated to go right up the middle of the Yucatan Channel. Knowing this, we had no choice but to get off the dock and move the boat into the lagoon, where it’s much more sheltered.
We actually ran the boat aground onto the soft muddy bottom, hard to believe we actually ran our boat aground on PURPOSE. We got her about 100 feet from the mangroves on the westside of the lagoon, and ran three lines from her bow, tying onto the thickest mangrove trunks we can find as deep in as I can get. We also dropped 2 anchors off the stern, and plan on dropping one more. After that, it’s off the boat before the storm hits, and hope for the best.
I think as long as nothing flies off its anchor or foundation and lands on Andiamo, she should fare out fine.
We will update as often as we can after the storm passes. Wish us luck, we’re going to need lots of it.

Happy for your move inside. Out of the waves so your anchors will hold. Hunker down and be safe. I will look for your update after passage. Got Pictures?
