Wow Kurt, how'd that great great... grand-daddy of yours build those railroad tracks across the Atlantic? Must have been a heck of a man!! :) :)

The thing that was unique about Humberto, is that it went from tropical storm to hurry-cane faster than any other in recorded history. I think the number it 18 hours. They usually build more slowly.

Kayaking this week for sure right Kurt?
