Trying To Reason With Hurricane Season..........
Another hurricane season is upon us. It begins June 1 and goes through November 30. The past few years it has always seemed worse towards the end of the season..... October and November. Last year hurricane Ike was heading directly for Islamorada in early September and we were in Missouri. As a last ditch effort to keep FF III safe, we searched around and found a captain who would take her to a marina where she could be pulled out and blocked up. About the time we got the boat moved Ike made a turn to the southeast and missed us. WHEW! However, the captain charged us $500 to move the boat about 10 miles and the marina charged us $500 to store the boat for a week. The boat got a small chip on a corner of the transom, a small scratch on the side, and the captain decided he needed the generator on for some reason and started it without the water turned on and burned up the impeller. So...this year we decided to pull it for safe keeping from mid August to the end of October. It will cost about the same as last year but a lot more coverage. So here is what she looks like out of the water.

That just seems wrong. Smart and necessary but wrong all the same ;) Aren't you guys going down in September? I can hardly imagine the two of you in Islamorada and NOT fishing!
ReplyDeleteOh....we're having it put back in the water for our September visit and then pulled back out when we leave!!! NOT fishing is NOT an option!!!!
