We are back aboard Casstaway! We feel blessed that Irma chose to be kind to us, and that all our preparation paid off - Casstaway has no damage inside or out. Almost all of the boats in our marina fared well and we are very grateful. Quite an experience. Thank you to family and friends for all of your prayers and support.

The weather experts are calling her “catastrophic”, “a monster storm”, “one of the strongest on record”. Hurricane Irma. And, Casstaway is right in her path - or close enough! Even if, as predicted this morning, the eye of the storm misses us, unless Irma takes a serious reroute eastward into the Atlantic we are sure to get extremely high winds, punishing rain, and turbulent waters....
