Rain event is right. It killed my keys fishing trip this weekend. I can’t even hit my local bass spots here in south Florida due to the waves of rain. Hopefully we can still get the BBQ going on Monday.
Governor Rick Scott just declared State of Emergency for all of Florida due to Alberto. Storm surge watch for Nature Coast and Flood watches all along Gulf Coast.
I sailed down in Miami/Keys from the mid 70s to mid 80s. Every Memorial Day weekend was a disaster..
On one we sailed from Ocean Reef to Bimini on a cold front. Needless the Gulfstream was mountainous.
Another we spent anchored off Cape Florida in a steady 2 day rain.
Another was filled with strong t/storms, waterspouts. The Coast Guard had more than 200 calls for help.
Got to be a standing joke, stay off the water Memorial Day.
Sorry your weekend got screwed up.
Here on the FL Gulf Coast, we did our Memorial Day grilling yesterday. We adapt as necessary to accommodate the Trump Hurricane Machine...
