Less than 10 days after Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida, the state is bracing for another potentially devastating blow from a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico, this one a potential Category 3 storm.
I live on a 29’ cruising sailboat and I’m in SFla and I moved into a mangrove swamp / waterway last night to ride out in, same one that I just left for the last storm a week ago.
It’s been 10 days since the last storm that we saw 45+ knt winds in, and for 5 out of the last 10 days, at least here, it’s been raining and everything is WAY over-saturated.
This storm is going to seriously fuck some shit up.
I know this isn’t a great thing to say due to housing costs, but I think you really need to find a different place to live than a boat because hurricanes are only going to get worse.

Yo this guy is awesome, whole ass sailor
Thanks man, I needed the lift.
Ay, stay safe out there. I’m not expecting it to be too bad for me, just hoping we don’t lose power for an extended period of time.
Best wishes from 239.

Great to hear! I got power back about 3 hours ago myself

At least boats can move
And sink.
Just like houses!
You can’t really be claiming that houses are no safer than boats in a hurricane.
You can when the boat is half way up the coast in the Chesapeake bay.
Exactly how fast do you think a sailboat someone lives on goes?
