Nothing to do with boat lifts, but a woman interviewed today had a live map of all ships in the area, color coded for yachts, freighters, cruise ships, etc. They looked like a swarm of bugs all headed west.
If I heard correctly, a Holland America ship came into port (Miami or Port Everglades — not sure which), and passengers couldn’t fly out to get home. So they headed back out to sea with the same passengers, not sure where they were headed, or for how long. So they got an extended cruise, and were able to avoid the storm instead of trying to find shelter on land.
Prayers up for those passengers ~ for a safe port.
