Secondary plans...

One thing you learn pretty quickly is to try and keep your options open and simply roll with the flow when you find things changing...

 Hurricane prediction is pretty good these days but projected paths have a way of shifting a bit. Sometimes its in your favor and sometimes not so much. In the case of "Earl" I'll be the first to admit that my initial plan for this year's hurricane season (that of being in the Med sipping Pastis) is sure looking like the path I should have followed.

We have been through a bunch of hurricanes and the worst part is not so much the storms but the unpredictable actions of other boaters who for whatever reason put their boats in situations where they are not only a hazard to themselves, but every other boat in an anchorage. Bareboat companies come to mind, as their last minute placing of boats in hurricane holes with no regard to proper anchoring make for so many boat bombs just waiting to wreck havoc...

So unless the track for TS Earl does some serious shucking and jiving before morning we be out of here to a more protected and hopefully bareboat-free anchorage.

So it goes...
