Stick it in the Hole Ep152

Tropical storm, 100-meter Coast Guard vessel, hole in the wood, and AIS Florida has been hit so hard by hurricanes this year. It has brought only tropical storms our way and we?re getting ready for another one due to Hurricane Milton. The sustained winds were between 25 and 30 knots with wind gusts up to 50 knots. It made for a rockin? and rollin? night. Karen did some routine things like filling our 280 gallon fresh water tank. The refitted Em-Trak AIS unit works. It?s installed, connected to our NMEA 2K network and is displayed on our Garmin chart plotter. Unfortunately, Steve had to drill a hole in the African Mahony for the wires. We took some time to relax and visited the USCG vessel, Samuel D. Ingham which is docked in Key West. She is a 100-meter steel vessel and the most decorated Coast Guard ship in history. The Florida Keys are where we have lived the longest on Isabella; it?s probably time to move on. Reflecting on our favorite aspects of the area, birds, roosters and the Offshore Grand Prix races are among the top of the list.
