I think Dixon was last in line once...
I had a secret stash and hooked him up the next morning.

The spaghetti forecasts were hysterical last week.
I called Capt. Bill Taylor on Black Dog and he said Magic Seaweed had it
going thru the straights last Wed., while the US and Euros had it coming to WPB.
Magic seaweed is my go to forecast site.

Looks like a bunch of rain and some wind.

Welly on the menu from here?
I could also make some soufflé base for dem scallops w Cahhhdinal Lobstah sauce.

Sounds perfect Sandy. I'm at Weeki now trying to figure out if I need to rescue the "other" boat and drag it to high ground. That thing is creeping along very slowly. If it stays out there for a long duration and keeps pushing water east across the West Florida Shelf eventually it will coincide with a high tide and we'll end up with a storm surge. It's better when they move fast. I'll check the scallop grounds out next week to see if they got "sanded out". The worst that could happen is we end up at the Freezer up in 'Sasser!!!!

[Vezo, Part II]

Hey! I was leaving tomorrow at 10, arrival at 4? High tide 2:08 pm? Low at 10:05 pm? Do I need an eight gallon ShopVac???

Vezo.

Kids school is cancelled here in Manatee Cty. Tomorrow with be fun at high tide for flooding.

Francis camped on us for 24 hrs.
For us it was good.
Big trees lost much sail area.

Jeanne came and went faster later on that year.

They had a piece on the local news about the flooding on IRB and I thought I saw Terry, paddle boarding down the street.

and Jeanne came about 3 weeks after Francis.

Ken, I ain't got no dang teal bath'in suit or one of them dorky paddle boards either! I got what every Red-blooded 'Merican Seacraft owner has - ah pair of cut off jeans and a outboard motor!

My half-pint wife is always try'in to talk me into a kayak or paddle board or some other sort of human powered aquatic vehicle. I tell her "Listen here Hiawatha, God wouldn't ah sent Olie Evinrude along if he expected is to be workin on Slave ships fer eternity. Go beat that drum with some tie died wearing, earth shoe treadin', spotted owl huggin nit whit."
(I usually don't say nuttin like dat until after dinner er it's Cheetos again and I git that red stuff all over my face and hands)
