It is a fact that an occasional December hurricane can and does occur. The historical records show several relatively recent examples...

...so we'll continue to keep a close eye on the weather. If all remains quiet, and the weather looks good for sailing, who knows where we might be in as little as two weeks from today. Stay tuned.
