Next time pack up those Sea Crafts and head to my house in Virginia to wait it out. You are all welcome here. Maybe leave one of those boats here as a loaner? I'm sure all will be fine on this one. Have a freind in Naples and I talk to him every 4-6 hours. Also glued to the Weather Channel. Hey by the way, Stefanie Abrams (WC Chick) is hot if you hadn't noticed. (Hence my weakness.......love everything old. Old boats, airplanes, cars, etc......except women....love the newer models). She gets me through the hurricanes.

You guys will be fine! Counting on it.

It's getting a bit windy now. Sustained winds as of 10:45pm are at 43mph. Storm has been upgraded to a Cat 3. Key West is having the normal flooding on Duval and other parts of the island. I'll keep checking in through the night as long as we have power...been having a few brown outs.
