Joaquin 30 Miles From Georgetown

We've been getting e-mails asking if we're OK after Hurricane Joaquin, and we heard that all the boats in Hole #2 survived unscathed!  Hooray!  Georgetown had a lot of wind and flooding, but the hardest hit were southern Long Island and the Acklins Islands.  Daren, Libby, and I are grateful to be far away from all the excitement...in Slidell, Louisiana, since mid-August.  Not that we're out of the hurricane zone!  This year was the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and the survivors all have tales that make your hair stand on end!   It's incredibly beautiful here and the food is amazing, but we are heading back down to the Bahamas and Flying Dogs at the end of the month!  Time to fly south for the winter!  We were SO pleased to find Watermakers Airline, that let Libby ride inside a crate next to my seat in the cabin, nonstop from Georgetown to Ft.Lauderdale's Executive Airport!  We couldn't have had this vacation without them!
