Yes, I am always thankful. (Thank you Father!)

Here I find out more from sailor friends and they are heading out like lemmings to the sea at the moment, south and a couple going north during the window. The ones staying are beefing up anchors and / or heading for the mangrove holes (which they can still sneak into around here without a lot of hassle).
Our border season isn't what it used to be. We've still got a gob of bareboaters (discount pricing season

) in the waters. Talked to dive op owner yesterday, bookings still heavy this week, then drop sharply next week. Meanwhile, lots of places, like SDB in JVD, already closed for their vacation. Hurricane hole is half-full, though they can pack it up in a good long day, if necessary. Don't know where the other boats would go, there are just too many here to fit in the hole.... they are taking a big risk to stay this late.
