It is looking more and more like Irene won't hit Florida directly, and so it looks like O Town is spared this time. To all those people in NC who are looking at an incoming devastating storm, I offer my prayers. Preparation is the key, as I am sure everyone knows.
We always keep emergency items in our house. There are always batteries (assorted sizes), at least 10 gallons of water, and food for at least a week. We have a radio that is our "hurricane radio". It…

Doesn't it feel good to take something off the endless list? Now that I can say I did a 3 week open water voyage I am enthralled with myself.
