Here is an e- mail I sent my friends this AM.
"Hi Guys Looks like I am OK going to Bermuda from Boston , on the Norwegian Dawn, leaving at 4PM Fri Oct 7th and arriving Bermuda 1PM Sunday. Bermuda is about 600 miles due east of Savanna Georgia and well out of the proposed track of hurricane Mathew.
The latest track forecast has Boston involved. The return trip from Bermuda on the following Weds and Thurs and Fri AM at sea could be a different story if Mathew hasn’t made it north of our course coming back from Bermuda, or gone inland somewhere along the coast.
This storm Mathew has the potential of affecting everyone of us one way or the other.
Here is the latest projection. –Tom

“Bermuda is about 600 miles due east of Savanna Georgia and well out of the proposed track of hurricane Mathew. “
The Capt. of the SS El Faro said pretty much the same thing the last time he left port.
If it hits New England it won’t be my first hurricane by a long shot.But regardless of what happens my homeowner’s insurance will certainly go up next year.
New models showing the latest path...
Actually only two. Very very very wet and very very very windy. Or maybe one more. Don’t fly your airplane if you have one or are deciding to rent.
Yeah, don’t worry about Matthew...

Worry about Nicole.
Be safe!
We look forward to viewing videos of everything in your cabin being tossed from side to side and of you puking into the trash can.
Cheers!
I would ‘think’, that after hurricanes Katrina and Sandy, folks just might have a good idea what these storms can do.
I am a Katrina survivor, so ‘I’ know that i know, that i know!
A storm this size can, and just might, kill y’all on the East Coast. (Although in my dark desires, a few folks tied to chairs in Washington, D.C., just might be the ‘right offering to the god of storms’.)
So, for all those do matter, get your stuff together NOW, fill your vehicle with fuel, make your plans QUICKLY, and just don’t be there, should the storm come that-a way.
And ... THAT INCLUDES NO BEACH PARTIES WATCHING THE WAVES COME IN!!! (Y’all do that ... just bend and kiss it, cause y’all goners!)
Once again the Weather Channel tells us nothing. What a useless waste of bandwidth.

Surf’s up, cowabunga. Get your kite board out and run as fast as you can to the beach.
As long as it doesn't affect any of them, it's no big deal.
Looks like our servicepeople at Gitmo are starting to get hit.
(Maybe they can leave the detainees outside for a “shower”?)
(Did I say that?)

I am in Savannah. We live on a 36ft sailboat in the ICW.
As of now, we’re staying put. We’ll put up some heavy lines across the slip and ride it out.
Unless the forecast changes again, and we may move the boat inland.
We were on our way to Bermuda on the Norwegian Dawn during hurricane Fay:

It was wild. I couldn’t walk across our room.
