Skirting Hurricane Irma by Heading East to Bermuda!

Just kidding, Jen and I found the best 'hurricane hole' we could find in southern New England just in case anyone is concerned.  We are going to hunker down in New Bedford behind the port's hurricane barrier.  Chances are Hurricane Irma won't hit the south coast, but no matter where the storm hits the U.S. the effects will still be felt strongly at sea in the northeast.  So this is a good place to be.  In the meantime, we are meeting some interesting folks like the Danish couple berthed next to us on a multi-year global cruise.  And just this evening we were invited aboard another couple's catamaran, that is now their home, for cocktails and hors d'oeuvres.
