Hopefully you can do a little lobstering and have a drink at the loreili before the illusive center shows up 8-)

Lake Tahoe is probably experiencing higher winds than you are now.

Hey Mike at least you didn't have to travel far from Coconut Creek, at least go down to Holiday Isle and have a drink for all of us here anticipating Ernesto.

Holiday Isle!!! Oh man! Do they still have that awesome buffet? I was there once for a family reunion, and once, more memorably, because the boat I was delivering was on KW, with no power, water, nothing (no storm, just island normal weird stuff) and had to drive up that far to get a room with running water...and a good party ;)
So glad it's minimal, have friends on boats in KW and Marathon I've been worried about.

Please, lets keep this discussion focused on frivilous wind observations...or I will lock this thread down for good.

Ah, just kidding!

Just make sure you keep the boat...I mean Tahoe...between the navigational beacons...(wait...can the Tahoe fly? I think we do need more recon and it is probably windier up there than where you guys are...:lol:)
