10 Rainy Day Rules:
#1
Pull the plug on the dingy or it will fill up like a bathtub.
#2
If you disregard rule #1 you will have to don your brother-in-law Tony’s “Gorton’s Frozen Fish Stick’s Hat” and pull said plug to drain your newly acquired aft bathtub.
#3
Whist following rule #2, pray you don’t get struck by lighting in your ridiculous but very effective hat.
#4
Check your wind instruments and see if you should start praying that your anchor will hold. (Even if you’ve set it really well the big blows are always worrisome.)
#5
Vote someone as tribute to don Tony’s hat and set up a few fenders in case your neighbors didn’t set their anchors well.
#6
Put all your electronics in a microwave in case that protect-your-electronics-from-lightning idea isn’t a myth—oh wait, we don’t have a microwave. SKIP RULE SIX.
#7
Pop some popcorn and watch a movie while you wait out the storm.
#8
Keep turning volume up on movie to drown out the thunder.
#9
Once the storm has cleared admire your saltless boat.
#10
Celebrate by posting photos of your spouse in his ridiculous but effective hat.
Happily in the middle of Rule #7
