Boy, what a night last night.  We had torrential rains and strong winds up to 70 miles an hour with tornado warnings in the area.  The wind was so strong it pulled the back cleat out of the dock.  The back end of the boat was about 8 feet from the dock.  We had to use my landing loop to get the boat pulled back to the dock so Keith could redo our lines.  The storn only lasted about 30 minutes but the rains kept up for most of the night.  All part of the adventure.

We are bringing the boat to St. Petersburg to the boat yard tomorrow morning.  We will have to stay in a hotel for the next 2 nights and then we should be able to get back on the boat and stay at a downtown marina while they fabricate our rail.

We have had a wonderful stay here at The Club at Treasure Island but we are both ready to move on.

CO's comments:  Yesterday I said "isn't life great!" and last night "all hell broke loose!"
