Some of my friends in Florida have checked in. All are fine, much soaked and flooded, electricity went out a bit, seen some crushed houses via falling trees (happens in every florida storm).
Basically only property damage, so far.
Now, there is hurricane Ivan tearing thru the Lesser Antilles, flattening everything in its path, headed straight to Jamaica.
Oy.

So, as part of the question and answer session, I asked:
"So, is are we going to be based in San Francisco - or would we have to move to Honolulu?"
The german looked at me as if I were speaking in tongues.
"Like, where would be our homebase?"
He tilted his head quizically. He was actually taken aback at the question.
"Homebase? What do you need of a homebase?!! You will be living on a SHIP free of charge! You will have no expenses. You dont need stuff. If youve got a car here in San Francisco.. sell it. Put your stuff in storage, sell most of it. You'll have thousands in your pocket. Take it and the money you'll be making and buy a house in Honolulu. Rent it out for when youre at sea, make more money. All you need is what you carry with you.
You wont NEED a homebase."
Dude was preaching to the choir. I was grinning as he continued on with the virtues of living light.
Is this what it feels like when you run off with the circus?
