Well , while you are riding the tide, and the bow turns south, pick up me ind jingles on the way down,,,mmmmkay? 
Sea, the funniest dream came to me last night.
You know the rafts put in lakes to dive off, the ones made of lumber and 50 gallon empty metal barrels ??
Very vivid memory's of one summer when I and a couple friends swam out to one and out of no where out of the West a huge thunder shower came racing across the lake at us. We had no time to swim to shore so we just lay down and hung on for dear life.
Somehow the mooring came loose and we floated off to shore, my Grand parents waiting with a dozen of dry towels to warm us up as we were freezing, wet, scared and hungry.
Strange dream I was thinking when I awoke this AM. Not a streaming dream but sort of like time laps shots of what happend so long ago.
When I went to open the drapes a few hours ago the first thing I saw was my deck out back. Because of zoning rules decks cannot be attached to the home. just set on cement blocks.
You know how I am Sea, sometimes 2x2=6 for me but this time still half awake I did not see my deck, I saw a raft.
Now to the planning stages for lack of nothing better to do. I know of places that cannot give away empty barrels of cooking oil or what not. The places have to pay to have them hauled away. Getting a dozen or so making sure they are air tight and lashing them to the bottom of the deck would take perhaps an hour or so. There is enough room under the deck to do so.
Biggest problem would be balance to insure if the deck hit something under water it could not tip over. There is no time to make a rudder or keel but the kayak paddles will have to do in a pinch. sort of like a canoe, steer from the bow and stern. I would need at least 3-4 20 gallon empty buckets to use as a sea anchor, sort of a 3 point mooring,
So never fear if the creek infact does rise and you hear an air horn outside your apartment, you may see a home owners deck with 2 kayaks attached ,one wet miserable dog, two miserable cats waiting to take you and Jingles aboard---Plenty of life jackets for all hands. -------------- Pay no attention to the terrified man, that's just hubby he will get over it. --------
All I ask from you is to supply the Jolly Roger flag in defiance of Sandy.
