I hope we can still get insurance... I just got my renewal from BoatUS,
premium is up about 12% ... ot bad considering their losses after isabelle..
this was is doens't seem like it's goign to come back out over the gulf, at
least so far, but errors at 4 or 5 days can be large...
it shoudl be too bad in miami, although there is still a high risk that the
center will pass a little closer...I'm not taking any chances and heading
down to the upper keys either tomorrow night or before dawn on friday...
