Reblog- Hurricane Florence — Cannons to Cruising

/ Son of a Sailor / 2 Comments

I almost feel guilty watching this big bitch come in on the East Coast from sunny So Cal, but there’s not much we can do from here except hope and pray.  Here’s a fellow blogger who lives on a sailboat with baby and husband and their evacuation story- They’re safe in Atlanta, hope the boat fares as well- We’re watching closely-

I’m re-publishing this story that I wrote in summer of 2017 because of the interest the individual post has continued to generate monthly.  I’m hoping that the Coombes are happy and healthy in England with no regrets on their decisions.  But if there are regrets, perhaps they might think about giving it another go?  I’m not sure any of us could prepare for a rudder loss in the middle of the Atlantic and none of us should armchair quarterback their decisions.  Regardless, the 2017 hurricane season would have mixed up the seas in the Caribbean to the point where finding the boat (Dove II) might be impossible.  Click the links, reading the original story and subsequent stories I’ve written.   Continue reading →

I don’t know why my re-blogs come out with black backgrounds or if they look this way once I hit publish,, but it annoys me too.  Take the time to look through this link as smaller bloggers who might be in here want you to read their stuff and perhaps find their blog to follow.  I know I do!  Take a look through, there’s probably a blog for everyone’s taste-  Continue reading →
