Thank You, Iron Wind!

That is exactly the point that I have tried to make. The weather here is a fact of life.
You learn to live with it and accept it as it comes and do what you have to when the heavy weather comes.

Its no different than being up in the great white north in the winter...take Illinois for instance....blizzards, ice storms, hellacious cold in the winter, severe thunderstorms and tons of tornadoes in the spring and summer. They learn to live with it or move somewhere else.

I am in complete agreement with you. You cannot allow the weather here to determine what happens in your life. You have to take your fun where you can and get on with your life.

Also, based on the history and frequency of hurricanes actually hitting any one part of the state and impacting lives.....the average boater probably will have bought and sold several different boats before he ever experiences a hurricane...and chances are at least equal that when a hurricane does show up that he won''t be in possession of a boat at that particular time.
