I'm pulling for you, CA! The friend here at work that I sponsor every year is also doing the MS 150 this weekend.

I have the same feelings about the potential for a tropical storm down there since our boat is now happily parked in a marina just east of Oriental. I hope the storm stays out to sea; otherwise we'll be running down there ourselves to secure the boat for a major storm...and we've only owned it since last Thursday!

Good luck with the MS 150!
