Doug King? Bwahahahahahaha! It couldn't happen to
a bigger moron than Doug. There's very little protection
around Capt Hatteras. I believe they could turn and
go west up the Peace river quite a ways and be a little safter
up there but there's nothing but lowland around - nothing
to stop those heavy winds. I hope they get caught in
Chesapeake Bay and try to anchor. If the center of
Isabel goes right up the Bay like several of the models
show it doing then they will get horrendous winds from
reversing directions and will drag - hopefully so far up
the mud flats that they need a Sikorski Sky Crane
to get them off afterwards if there's anything worth
salvaging.

S.Simon - Trawlers deserve an awful fate.

Hey Neal,

Doug and his wife just started a three week cruise up to the Chesapeak.
It looks like they and the storm are going to meet a Hatteras. I hope
they find a hole to tuck into.

I really hope they get thru it. Even hope they change their vacation
plans.
