When do you leave for the canoe trip?


Depending on Irma's route, you may be spared much damage, if any. I hope that's the case. However, plan for the worst and hope for the best. Not sure how you could leave if damage is imminent or Irma has left a mess of your residence and/or other belongings. There's always next year.

Yup I can't imagine leaving my home with this barreling in. I will be in Michigan during the event. Fortunately I have friends who will board up my home. Due back Tuesday, hoping the airlines will be running. Looks very gnarly.

This is my favorite time of the year. My annual Quetico trip is right around the corner and the weather should be changing. This year we are doing a 2 person loop for 9 days, followed immediately by a 12 day solo... Planning on leaving early Thursday morning for the trek to Atikokan but suddenly a glitch... Irma. We live about 100 miles north of Miami on the coast... Watching these models and knowing that there is a beast out there with 180 MPH winds that may well be headed my way 3 days before my trip begins is a bit unnerving to say the least.

One can only hope!!!
