Actually if you'll look back you'll see I brought up the need for that information long ago.

How did we get along without him?

Just fine I'm sure....but you're stuck with us now....so we participate...a lot....but on a limited number of topics.

Talk about sails or engine maintenance and we're out of the discussion.

Re: Bahamas During Hurricane Season?

There are millions and millions or people who spend hurricane season in Florida, the Bahamas and other low lying hurricane prone areas. Just saying.....

Re: Bahamas During Hurricane Season?

I was wondering if there was a Band "A" or Band "C".

And, incidentally, same with car. Never take off too late and let yourself be caught on the road in a car during a hurricane.
Where I lived we called them Cyclones (Queensland Australia) I was caught in one a couple of times riding my motor bike I survived OK. The biggest problem wasn't the wind it was the visibility through the visor or lack there of due to the rain and I had to stop until they eased off enough to carry on. That did take a while though. I was of course soaked to the skin even through my waterproofs and leathers. I did know it was coming and was sort of prepared but it also terrified me (the wind). Riding a bike in a cyclone (hurricane) is a really bad idea. You can get dead doing that. Things that can kill you start flying about. But then I am a Biker and clearly insane.

Re: Bahamas During Hurricane Season?

I have worked as a vessel captain for 30 yrs in the Bahamas and yes there are plenty of Hurricane Holes just look back at Hurricane Dorian in the Abbacos it sat there and ground them to pieces best case is to head back state side and tuck away inland. Most insurance companies will ask what is your hurricane plan what marina are you going to go to. You can not predict mother nature.
