OK, the power’s out at Your Survival Guy’s house this morning as a Nor’easter rips through the region. Here’s the marine forecast if you’re interested:

427 am EDT WED OCT 27 2021. Storm Warning in effect through this afternoon. Today N winds 30 to 35 kt with gusts up to 55 kt. Seas 8 to 11 ft. Rain this morning then showers this afternoon. Patchy fog this morning with visibility 1 to 3 NM.

Not your ideal boating weather.

As I write to you this morning from my kitchen island, I’m running minimal lights to go easy on my generator. It’s running, but I don’t want to jinx anything. If you want a shakedown cruise on your situational preparedness, keep your lights off tomorrow morning while it’s still dark, and imagine how you’d do off-grid for a little bit. It definitely focuses the mind.

Action Line: Bad stuff happens fast. Rise to your level of preparedness.
