Hi,

Thanks for asking, I'm fine... although, I haven't been straying very far this winter from a kerosene heater that's temporarily replaced my heating system that went underwater during Sandy... (grin) I'm getting off easily in this storm, it's only just beginning to snow here now, I doubt we'll get more than 5 inches or so, and the breeze is already moved to the north, so high water is not an issue for me this time...

I have a very dear aunt who's had some health problems for the past few months, and helping her out has occupied much of the time I'd otherwise be wasting here... Otherwise, I've just been farting around, trying to get my house and property back into some semblance of normal. "Farting around", however, is the operative term, I've honestly made precious little headway, and have probably spent more time working on boat projects, in readiness for a possible cruise this summer... We shall see...

Fortunately, I've got a delivery headed south in another week, so I'll get a nice little warm weather fix for a bit... Last year at this time, I was headed down the Florida Bay side of the Keys, waiting for a break in the weather to cross over to the Bahamas... Sure would be nice to be somewhere on those banks tonight, it's striking how they jump right out at you in this pic from space...

Although, the place I'd REALLY love to be tonight, is tucked into a snug corner of the Nantucket Boat Basin... riding out this storm on Nantucket, that would be awesome, no...?

best regards,

Jon
