Hopefully we will have the main dock back in 30 days (It's a decent construction effort so I am saying 60, lol). The fall series races are canceled for now. The next race they plan to do is the Gator bowl regatta in December. That will hurt the pocket book a little, but I am sure the club will pull through fine. While the main dock goes in we will need to figure out how we want to approach with the finger piers. I imagine we will do a lot of work ourselves to save some $$. Most everyone is capable and willing to work. A lot of knowledgeable minds are floating around as well to direct those capable and willing hands
My house got by un-scaved, miraculously never lost power, and considering I only have a few palms trees (that I previously had trimmed), cleanup on the home front was light. We were really lucky. So, we spent the first day after helping others in the neighborhood and a the rest of the week at the Rudder club.
If you are ever back in Florida during the time of year the Mug race is on, let Lowell or me know. I am sure we can find a spot for you to crew You can pretty much go up to the Rudder club on any given weekend and find someone that wants to sail. I am sure the there are lot's of crew spots available especially during the Mug race (on various boats of all sizes).
By the way, how is Cali treating you? Where did you land? Find any good sailing spots? I imagine there should be a few.
Speaking of "Cali", I recently aquired a cover for the boat since it is sitting down at the Rudder club (pine sap sucks). I have a friend that knows Mike Gillum pretty well, and have recently been in contact with him (where I got the idea for the boom vang rig on the CB). I believe he is up by Sacramento. Anyway, my friend told me about Mike being in the canvas business, he just made me a really nice cover for the ol' Daysailer. I have gotten a lot of comments on his craftsmanship. Reminds me that I need to post up some pics to show off his great work. I just have had a really hard time concentrating on anything but Irma fallout, lol.

Sounds like y'all are already well on the road to rebuilding. Please give my best to Dee and Lowell. Hope you have more braves than chiefs! ;-P
