And so it begins. :( :( :( Apparently Mother Nature did not get the memo that clearly states that hurricane season does NOT begin until 01 June of each year. There are no exceptions (unless you are Mother Nature). :cry:

TS Alberto - 40 mph winds moving NNE at 5 mph; expected to strengthen. "Environmental conditions are forecast to steadily become more conducive for development . . ."

And yet here I sit yet again in 2018 after swearing I would permanently get out of hurricane alley.

There is "dumb and dumber" and then there is "little old me". :roll:

Roberto, since you hold some sway with the meteorological powers that be, I've marked up your map to indicate a tropical storm "no fly" zone. A 500 nautical mile exclusion zone would be very much appreciated till mid-July. :D

Vice Commodore Jim W.:

Your wish is my command Vice Commodore.

Please let me know the date parameters and I shall personally intercede on your behalf.

Be advised, I have been less than successful in my efforts to assuage Mother Nature in her apparent unending efforts to destroy my home. However, I shall employ all of the powers and skills at my disposal to assist you in your journey.
Fair winds,

Roberto
