Sarasota Storm

We are all ok! Ken, Kaylee, Danielle and our crew mate Roger. Thank you for all the check ins. It was a wild run of storms last night here in Sarasota Bay in the mooring field by Marina Jacks. Other than rocking and rolling with winds upward of 40 knots, we were completely fine and secure on a mooring ball. We were awake, but not stressed like we would have been if we had been on our own anchor.

Winds are still fairly constant up to 30 knots this morning so we have not gone ashore - we'd be soaked in the dinghy!

We did have some drama here in the mooring field this morning with a sailboat that broke free from it's dock or anchorage across the bay and drifted right over into the mooring field. The Marina Jacks pump out boat came out and did its best to steer it away from hitting any boats, but eventually had to let it go because they just weren't strong enough to tow it. The boat beached itself on a sand bar to the south and is no longer a danger to anyone or any boats thankfully. FWC has been out to check on it.

Just wanted to get a quick update out here since the news is evidently reporting the storms and tornados. We are all good.
