• Damn, this has turned out to be some storm, eh...?
  • Take a look at this....Barge broke loose from the Tug. (pic)
    • Getting Lucky
      • Yep, Here in Beaufort, still waiting
        • Are you still shooting for Bermuda, and the Virgins...?
          • Hey Jon... plans and places.
            • Hey Dave & Jon: Why not Bermuda?
              • Well, I just don't like the idea of Bermuda this time of year, so I'll cite Don Street as my excuse... (grin)
                • I don't have Street's book but...
                  • Well, Street seems pretty adamant about this...
                    • I'll go with Street . . .
                      • Here's what he has to say about that...
                        • Street writes it like a broker who doesn't want to pay an insurance claim
                          • If that's the case you should have stricter boat maintenance/outfitting requirements.
                          • Or, like a guy who sails an enginless boat... I don't disagree, I too am a bit surprised by how conservative he is...
                            • I should make clear, far be it from me to doubt the wisdom of Don Street, he's done that trip WAY many more times than I (nm)
                          • One more comment, re the notion that this trip "should be quite manageable..."
                            • It's our old friend the Gluf Stream which (link)
                              • Well, there's that word "should" again... (pic)
                              • BTW, Dave seems to be doing well, looks like he's decided to give Bermuda a miss on this one...
                                • Bermuda!!! (pic)
                        • Atlantic weather is Atlantic weather
                          • I found a first edition of a Street Caribbean guide in our marina laundry room shelf last year
                            • Back on the net
                              • Brad...check your email. (nm)
                          • That's great, Jeremy - I'll be looking forward to seeing the new edition...
      • Nah, I wouldn't make fun of anyone motoring in order to out-run an approaching storm...
