Going sailing...

One of the nice things about being on a sailboat is that you can leave when things get nasty... Well if you are paying attention as to which way the wind is blowing that is.

So far, we've had a pretty zip hurricane season but right now it seems intent on making up for lost time with tropical storm Ana doing it's thing closesly followed by two other systems that also look to becoming something you'd rather view from a distance and my gut reaction at the moment is, the greater the distance the better!

What better time to go sailing then and sail towards Curacao! It's not all that far as a straight shot of just under five-hundred miles and (more or less) out of the Hurricane zone. The added advantage is we can always stock up on blue hued liqueur!

Always look at the silver linings...
