So, back we are here at Key West, in order to avoid the storm that was originally thought to be going to Isla Mujeres. Instead, now it’s coming right at us. So Andiamo is docked at a marina, and we’re hunkering down for the big blow. Hopefully it will go by quickly and painlessly. We’ll let you know what happens if it does come our way. Alot can happen between now and its projected arrival time of Friday, 8AM. We’ll keep ya posted.
At least now we’ll get a firsthand look at the legendary Hurricane Parties Key West is known for.
Stay save Tony and Mahi….Have a Hurricane drink or two for us….
