Still Hangin' at West End


Up to this morning the reports being issued by NOAA indicated that the Gulf Stream was going to be 2 feet or less. People have been arriving at Old Bahama Bay, the marina we are at, with anticipation of getting back to the States today. So we are going to be here a while longer.
Ya think?

Is there a chance you will be stuck over there for quite a while yet? Any hurricanes on the horizon? I know the tornados are picking up in the States.
