From a friend:

I just spoke by phone with Nesto Gomez next to the SPT airport and they are
boarded up and have boats secured on the back side, ready to move their brand
new outboards a few feet higher if need be. This has been a hell of a year
to be a tarpon guide.....Nesto said that the dock at Shark's Bar has been one
throng of people after another leaving A.C. since Saturday and there are only
a few hundred (?) left. Sounds like they are taking this one VERY seriously.

Joe Miller says its really gusty, but he'd say 50 mph gusts, not quite 60

Just spoke by phone to Willie (rasta) he's at the school. Said everything was OK.. Ocean really rough! 10kts winds. Not raining at the moment.

can anyone tell me what is happening with the TMM charter fleet? Thanks for any info.

Everything is A O K here, very light winds
the surf is up a little, very little rain, it nseems we have slid by this time. The storm has passed we will probably resume normal ops tomorrow.

I too would be very interested to hear about Paul's group of boats. Let NO ONE forget that Paul and his company sustained the highest casualties in the entire country during Keith. He lost crew, customers, and many very expensive boats. I trust that he will handle this one well. The last one did a number on all.

I am not too worried this time. I just want to see that red and white scourge continue northward all night and peter out.

The more I look at the storm, it's not heading north much at all, in fact it's bleeding southward...not to my liking at all.

Oh, oh - what does that mean exactly? When are you and what do you see?
