Loving the boat these days... has been rock solid (knocking on wood)... still looking to transition to a liveaboard next summer. Have been crashing on the 270 on the weekends (as I am tonight)... doesn't get much better it seems!! Pictures from today!

    @J3ff you suck!   :D
    Just kidding buddy. You made a lifestyle choice that many of us wish we could or would have made in our younger days. Congrats!

    I've posted elsewhere that we're having Virginia Winter this week:  "1: Snow forecast and panic buying.  2: Hurry up and shovel the snow before it melts.  3: Fifty degrees next week."

    That part about hurry-up-and-shovel is real.  I've no clue why Virginians do it. 

    Weather Underground was predicting 11.5 inches at one point, but even they have walked it back.  Now the under-over is 1.5 inches, meaning we'll get nothing.

    After hearing about the 10+ inches expected at home... and work being mostly remote... if it wasn't for the corona I'd be on a plane to CT right now, just for the storm!!

    The rule of thumb in the keys is if it's brown go around!

    But your place in Deep Creek is getting pounded. We are currently getting an inch an hour in Pittsburgh. Got 6 inches now.

    let me know when you're coming through. Have parents demanding I'm home for the Holiday, told them we'd see what happens.

    The keys are imho the best place I've found in North America!  Granted I've never been west of Kansas. West Coast water isnt warm so I doubt id enjoy the Pacific. Also i haven't seen Mexico outside Cancun or Canada outside of Niagara
