Hurricane Helene makes landfall in Florida tonight. We have been experiencing extremely tropical weather here in Panama for the last week because of that storm system. We are praying for everyone in the path of the storm, if anyone needs help relocating a boat in the aftermath, please let me know. I would be happy to help #captainmatt4hire #sailingbyefelicia #hurricane #helene #stormsurge #flooding #lightning #weatherbug @weatherbug
