I know the Tybee 500 doesn't start til Sunday, and the storm is supposed to be gone in a couple days, but we here in Pensacola hate to see Jim come to town. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

Anyone got any reports of how bad the beaches are getting hit near the checkpoints?

I just saw footage of a freakin' pier breaking up in Palm Beach...Bonnie had to go take some 'medicine' shortly thereafter.

Within the weather community, when he shows up, there is a sigh of relief. He hasn't a good landfall yet! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Did you notice how Mr. Cantore (or "JC" as we affectionately call him) bears a STRIKING resemblance to a certain driver of an orange boat?

Weather forecast? Unlikely. Just checking his strategy...

My idea was to put it on the bottom of the tramp. It would look cool while flying a hull and be easy to spot if the boat was on its side/upside down heaven-forbid.

Have I mentioned how tormented I feel not being in Hollywood today?

Not so fast. I saw on CNN this morning that the $10M was a bogus bid, the money never materialized and the car is going back on Ebay so you guys can all take another shot at it. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
