florida check in

[SKYCHENEY]

Weren’t the OWW locks open, no closures for maintenance? It would have been so easy to run thru to the east coast. Early on, like on Friday, I briefly considered running east to the Bahamas before it became clear the storm was heading to the west coast.

Think I'd rather be this guy than piled up in the parking lot.

That guy has Brass Balls! But I understand wanting to save your boat. Forest Gump style!

Looks to me that it s on high ground pushed by storm surge and wind

Jim (zigzag) checked in. Ok but no power or TV.

Saw some tv footage of what seemed to be port sanibel marina, spotted two possibly three Hatt MY in one piece. One was in the parking lot but upright, another was in in its slip afloat but slightly angled in the slip

The question I was afraid to ask. Ground zero for surge impact. But not part of a marina. No power there and also cell coverage is down or diminished. Helping a few down there deal with this by using my internet to figure out what info they need and then relay the info. There are 3 services on smartphones. Cell, texting, and internet with some overlap. Difficult times here. My wife's high school friend is married to a literally rich doctor. They are in Venice and got the hard wind damage. Just going to say they were not prepared at all. Last contact was Early yesterday and then nothing. Waiting. Hope the Juice, family, and lastly the boat are okay.
