God bless everyone....


If people with boats wind up evacuating this far West in Louisiana the storage place I have a unit in has a good number of big units empty and place is only a year old.

Mary is the ladies name.

There are a good number of places to stay as well. Airbnb and a good number of hotels in Lafayette.


I pray for everyone evacuating and all that have been decimated already , where are they all going to go? Can't really go North due to the destruction in the other states North. Have to come West /Northwest is my thinking..

Took the beater world cat off the lift Sunday and hauled inland. One last look at normal Sarasota waterfront!

Main floor is up 11’ and have upstairs, was going to stay but not if it comes in this hot. We got 6’ of water from Helene but I think anything over 10 would put water in the house.


I have a client right by you in Bird Key.... he said he's in a newer build with "hurricane" construction but I'd be scared as hell! He's paying $25,000/year already in home insurance!!

I just checked my main floor elevation with the laser. Dead on 11’ from current mid tide. I think we have a 2.4’ high tide right after midnight tomorrow night.
So I’ll net about 8.5’. South eye wall is forecast to be 10-15 so just have to see where it lands and how far inshore it holds up. But it’s a straight shot from Big Pass to this inlet.

Its crazy we are probably less than a hundred miles from it now sitting on the beach and it's not even raining here. Thoughts and prayers for those in the path.

Man, first time I have "skin in the game" for a Florida hurricane. Last week and did a "bucket list" trip and ran my 400ss 1,000 miles from VA to FL (Stuart). It's docked behind a buddies house in the canals. When I left they were calling for a potential Cat 2.....I get home and a few days later it's a Cat 5 . Can't believe I just left my boat down there! Secured it the best I could and wish everyone who lives in the path the best!!!!!
