Just got upgraded to a Cat 4. 140mph. 11 am:mad:

Guys as a fellow Floridian best wishes to all of us I for one am not looking forward to the aftermath of this one ! Wilma was 3yrs of overtime for me ---getting to old for that shit like my weekends off!

Matthew
 

To my fellow SeaCrafters on the SE coast, the ones I've known a long time; others more recently; and to those I have not had the pleasure yet, best wishes through Matthew. You all, my daughters family in Stuart, other friends, and the folks in the path are in our prayers and will continue to be.
A bailout from Chuck Town will be joining us tomorrow night.

Well, was going to stay put, I've never run from a storm before, but this is looking more and more like another Andrew(didn't have to get away from that) so,we chickened out at the last minute. Had to leave the 23 behind, hope she's alright.

You guys farther north have every right to haul ass.
We will pray for the 23

We all pray the boats come thru with out any damage but being fiberglass they can be repaired not so easy to repair the human body. Be safe and play again another day

everyone stay safe, things are about to get crazy.

I have a little "pink pantie drop" shine left over from the scallop gathering, I wish I could send it NoBones' way!!!! He might need it tonight and tomorrow! :) Unfortunately looks like he's at "ground zero".

Be careful and take care all you right coast guys!!

Best of luck to everyone in Matthew's path. I'm in Charleston, SC, West Ashley and close enough to the Ashley River to hear The Citadel play Reveille in the mornings. Our old story is the Ashley, Cooper, and Wando rivers join in Charleston Harbor to create the Atlantic Ocean.....Below is my front porch view. We'll see how these 100+ year old oaks do.

Cam, Your job ain't to worry about that dang old oak tree. It'll either hold up to the test or it wouldn't and you sitting in your bathroom with your family while the wind is blowing 100 miles an hour outside with chit flying everywhere ain't gonna help it any. Just "ease on" to high ground before the roads get packed and people start acting stupid and panic. Remember Hugo!

If it comes your way, take a side trip southeast to Warner-Robbins AFB. They have an AC130 with twin Bofers and a 105 MM sticking out the side of it along with a Super Connie early AWAC and all kinds of cool stuff. You'd like it there.
