I just saw the Weather Channel forecast for the southwest FL coast and it showed a major storm affecting the areas of Key West & north. They specifically mentioned hazardous conditions for small craft. Keep your heads down & eyes to the sky mates. - Capt. Bill Hope you guys are OK.

For those of you who do not know, I am Stinkbaits ex wife but still best friend. I hope this trip is the experience of a lifetime that I have heard about for so many years. From my past endevers with the Captains I have a few pieces of advice: 1) Captain Zooman, hide the rum for once the seal is broken the party is not over until Ken finds the bottom. Get there first, then find the bottom 2) Caiptain Stinkbait, tie everything down and everyone. Between the 2 of you it is just a matter of time before something or someone goes over 3) Zooman, if you have to jump in to save anything, check the depth of the water. You may be able to stand (now theres a story he can explain) 4) Stinkbait, your dream is about to begin and although the kids and I are not there with you (thank goodness, as I have sailed with you many times lol) we wish you all the luck and hope you find it to be everything you expect 5) Last but not least, Steve and Ken be careful. don't take any short cuts and if you find yourself stuck on a rock; as Ken has on one occassion, pop the top, have a couple of drinks, and remember the tide will rise sooner or later. Take care and be safe. To my understanding you are about to set sail. For those of you who do not know, I am Stinkbaits ex wife but still best friend.
