OK ... so the new "over-sized" rudders are in hand.
How big of a deal/job is it for the install ? .....a couple of hours and not a couple of days, true ?
Marina is doing it, not me.

Re: Tropical storms forecasts
House and fleet did well.
My neighbor that was staying at the house because we have impact windows went back to his house at 6:30 and said boats were barely moving.
Hope the folks north do well !!

Re: Tropical storms forecasts
Bertram & Strike tied to dock across the canal and several feet off of my dock.
My dock is direct and easy access to ICW, but once off the ICW is a left turn then a right turn, creating a little "hurricane hole", with houses on all sides.
I liked the spot just for that reason....lets hope it pays off.
