HURRICANE EARL UPDATE for PCYC

IMPORTANT EVACUATION UPDATE RE: EARL - Hurricane Earl looks like it is going to pass to the west of Nantucket, causing high wind and surf conditions for PCYC. At this time we have made the decision to only force an evacuation of General Tie-up and a boats at the end of Witch Way.

We are monitoring the situation as new tracking projections are made available at 8pm, 2am, and 8am each day.  Should projections change we may evacuate the remainder of the marina.  Please be prepared to remove your vessel tomorrow afternoon or Friday, if need be.

Note:  some members have chosen to haul early. To do so contact acting Yard Master Rich Morneau - but do not wait as he will only handle what he can handle.  And if he can't get to you - the Club is not responsible.  Otherwise, as a precaution, you may want to take action to remove your boat to a safer place on your own.
