Hi Folks: I just wanted to commiserate with all of you in the area of potential landfall with Floyd. Most of us here on the Pacific Coast never have to even think too much about preparing for such an event. As I watched the National news on TV last night my heart went out to you all and your beautiful boats. Debbie and I wish you all the best of luck. Please share your experiences with us, good or bad.

We are getting ready. My biggest concern is the 12' - 15' storm surge on top of the tide. There is no way any of the boats here have enough line to handle that - including my own. However, it is well back up in a canal that is as good as any place on the island. But with a #4 or #5 hurricane I don't think it much matters. That's why we have insurance - right? Will give you all a run down when email is once again established in Nassau, but don't hold your breath for that. And before then, Floyd will be raking the entire eastern coat of the US with 150mph winds. Good luck to you all.
