To all our shipmates and friends in the Norfolk Area, we wish you all the best of Luck as Irene comes to visit. Keep hunkered down wherever you are and pray that Irene veers easterly. You all are in our prayers.
Ditto, I have been thinking a lot about your folks in harm's way. My sister and brother are in the scary zone too. I've watched the ships all put to sea so maybe the rest of you should head west!!!
I just looked up the prospective route of Irene and it looks bad for NC and Virginia for sure. As some one long ago said "Go west young man, go west". Our thoughs and prayers for your safety.
Marshall
