Weather the prime concern? lol Says, Skippy as he and his overloaded
boat
are cruising the Bahamas during hurricane season. Duh! If weather were
your
prime concern you'd be off cruising someplace and some time where there
were
no tropical cyclones in the offing.

You obviously chose to ignore my reply to Wilbur earlier in this thread:
********
As above, our connectedness allows us to be safe but still enjoy those
waters you raved so much about. We had a great sail yesterday, for example,
in nearly ideal conditions. Going outside through one of the cuts wouldn't
be advised, yet, for a couple more days, but, if we didn't have that
connectivity, we wouldn't know without having to go have an onsite view of
why we shouldn't.

Between SSB, my satellite receiver (real-time pix as NOAA's satellites go
over), the internet, and others, we have no concerns about tropical
disturbances. As always, we have our hurricane holes picked out, and, with
our connectivity, could be in place within the 5 day window, keep a careful
eye on developments, and take appropriate steps for securing Flying Pig as
needed. Those who run and hide geographically are simply wusses, or slaves
to insurance rules, or both.
+++++++

We are neither, just self-directed. I can't say that Wilbur doesn't qualify
for at least one, if he suggests we stay out of the "box"...

(Bob Said, about that)

Hummm I wonder what his insurance company says about that...........
oh, ya he aint got none cause even those blood suckers wont risk
betting on him.

Actually, not so. The same year as our wreck, submitting an app at the
Annapolis Boat show, we were quoted (a few weeks later) by the same company
we'd had all set up before we went coastal cruising (instead of proceeding
directly to the Bahamas following our rehab; they returned our check which
they'd been holding pending a departure from coastal coverage with
Allstate). Full disclosure on the new app. Same price, same coverage. We
chose to remain self-insured, though we're reconsidering liability only, as
we've had a very reasonable quote recently...

Y'all have fun with the thread; I'm going to bed with a good book.
