Ahoy me matey''s , tis been a bit of a rough blow in me ports of call and me spirits be low. Me vessel was left hobbled and stripped of canvas last thursday and I haven''t been allowed back onto Pine Island since and have no word on her condition. We just got power back at home and the tv pictures are not helping my anxiety any. I cannot tell you how painfull the entire experience has been but we are thankfull that we and our neighbors are alive. Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte, Sanibel, Pine Island, and Fort Myers beach are a mess. Cape Coral has damage from one end to the other and being the forth largest city in land mass in Florida ought to tell you something. I will post pictures as soon as I can get out to my island hideaway. God Bless everyone , fair winds, and good holding ground to all. Pirate of Pine Island
