Sept 26, 1998
Hurricane Georges passes close to our area, close enough to evacuate our island, not close enough to cause serious damage, so as the threat was ending and the winds were still up we gathered up a hearty crew with instuctions that stated..
"We are not turning back, so bring a bucket if you think you might have a seasickness problem or catch the next public sail"
We then prepared the yacht from the previous Hurricane ready state, no sails, double lines, etc. and 2 hours after the call ...and after the news crews came by for a visit, of which we could not persuade to go! oh well...here's the pics
