Hey Tom,

Just arrived in Annapolis on a delivery down from NY, and was planning on jumping right on another boat headed for Oriental...

Instead, I'll be heading home tomorrow to batten down the hatches at home, prep my own boat for the storm, and retrieve my car - which is presently parked at a yacht club at Great Kills, Staten Island - which could be very vulnerable to a storm surge if this all plays out as expected...

I may be up in your neighborhood again before too long, looks like I may be taking a boat out of Rockland in a couple of weeks... I'll keep you posted, it would be great to see you and Mary Ann again...

Yesterday I motored up Delaware Bay in a flat calm, in shorts and a tee shirt... A bit hard to imagine I might be seeing some snow in the week to come... (grin)

This one sure promises to be "interesting", that's for sure...

best regards,

Jon
