It never rains but it pours...

Skip,


Glad you're here. Thanks for that.

I dunno how many are actually available, but late today there were still empties.

The marina manager mailed me to say that we had a ball; we're on it.

The mad dash from the bottom of Abaco to Vero is the picture, and we're prepping the boat.

Too early to tell if we'll get a miss; we're prepping for a Cat5.

I believe at present I would stay put, it appears the hurricane may ride the coast from FLA into SC so I wouldn't rely on the older bridges remaining operational. Give it till next week to proceed.

I was, as of course everyone would understand, utterly heartbroken, as well as felt put upon by the world. It was just such a unique experience to cruising while being 10,000 miles from home.

Ha ha ha, very good, he bored me to tears too.

Yet, it involved you, apparently

Boatpoker, from what we've seen on the weather channel, you might want to load up with emergency relief supplies if you're going to the Abs. They have been all but wiped out.
