As darkness approached, I ran outside on the darkest night I can remember from Channel #5 to KW. Got in with a slight nick on one skeg, otherwise perfect.

Hey Ed, It was great to see you in KW and renew our acquaintance after not seeing you for a few years. When we idled out of KW Bight behind you Sat. I was hoping we could rip out of there together but I think you were headed for the lift. Another time. That is a great looking boat and I hope your cousin enjoys it.

You guys might have hit some floating debris from the hurricane. There was a ton of junk on the side of the road on US1.

Thanks Dave,

Nor Tech is building some great boats and I'm on my second one. This one is the best ever in every respect. Perfect for my style of boating.
Thanks for asking re: Wilma. Considering we took a direct hit the Island faired pretty well. My H Shutters held and did their job. I had no power for 2 days and no A/C for 2 weeks. Lots of landscape damage which is a shame as the Island was known for it's beautiful landscape. Very little structural damage as mostly new construction. Several condo units were trashed when glass or shutters failed. We are well along with the cleanup and things are getting back to normal.
