    Rich. We have some empty 40' slips at the Oyster Bar Marina if you want to
    get in her West quadrant. -Harvey

    A good ole hurricane will take your mind off silly political storms and put
    things in their proper places every time. We in the Florida panhandle
    wished Bonnie and Charley away (sorry they had to hit anybody), and now we
    all have Frances to which we are going to have to apply our mental powers.
    Hmmm... Pray for some advantageous steering currents NOW!

    Hope you guys on the southeast coast are ready. If it hits as far south as
    the Miami area, we will see it cross the "X" with Charley in Florida (some
    poor souls are going to get a double whammy) and move into the Gulf and
    possibly thence to our front door. Hopefully it would be somewhat weakened
    after crossing the peninsula, but the Gulf is warm, which might allow
    restrengthening.

    If I were trawlering near the Panama City area, I'd think about finding a
    hole now or heading west about 150-200 miles west until about Saturday when
    we see where this one is going.

    If you are up the rivers and Tenn-Tom AND Frances actually heads off into
    the guts of the southeast as currently shown on the NOAA site, be ready for
    lots of water coming downstream.

    After this year, nobody in Florida will be able to get or afford boat and
    housing insurance. If we all take proper precautions with our boats and
    homes and do not just leave them to the mercy of these storms, maybe we can
    mitigate the financial after effects. You need to have a pro-active and
    workable plan - then execute it. End of soap dance.
