[Rhodes22-list] Hurricane Dolly_Jim White

[Jim White]

Ed:
I flew to Cancun (Isla Mujeres) just today, and am sitting in a palapa answering your email. We will be delivering Island Time (Island Packet 37) back to Port Isabel probably Wed. (about a 6 day passage). Looks like a good weather window. I'll write about it.
 
The quote is mine, but it belongs to all of us who sail....
 
Thanks for your wishes and prayers all!

Jim:

Great to see your post.  Always great to see post from a remote location. 
Pictures of your area would be great, lately we see pictures of critters
rather than sailing and boats.  Next thing I expect is pictures of snakes
from Georgia.  

Have you sailed to Mexico?  If you recall we had a report of a trip on
Mexico's west coast, it would be neat to see Mexico's east coast.

BTW, "The power of the wind is awesome....it carries us peacefully to
places
we dream of, but it also sometimes lets us know who's REALLY the
boss."  Can
I attibute authorship to you?
