Current forecasts are showing a slight weakling and a gradual drift to the West.
Both are good news for SW Florida. As you can see in the first photo below, it
is calm and another beautiful day in Sw Florida. Today it is beginning to get a bit breezy.
River photo was taken around 11:00am 8/24.

Beginning to make preparations. This is about 4-5, 24hour days, worth of generator fuel. Worst case, I use it in the generator, best case, it goes into one of the cars or boats, after the storm.

NEW PHOTOS AT PHOTO BLOG. Isaac, keeps plowing along, getting closer
and stronger. I just plotted the current NHC (11:00am 8/25/12) discussion
forecast coordinates in my navigation system. They have the center 85 miles
offshore from Marco Island, 93 miles offshore from Ft Myers Beach, and 107
miles offshore from my house.

NEW PHOTOS AT MY PHOTO BLOG. Isaac, continues to move along;
however Westward motion. Great news for SW Florida. Six hours of West
movement, makes a big difference. I just plotted the current NHC (Sun 5:00pm
8/26/12) discussion forecast coordinates in my navigation system. They have the
center 120 miles offshore from Marco Island, 144 miles offshore from Ft Myers
Beach, and 167 miles offshore from my house.

If I felt I could get the boat off the lift, and then back on the lift
I might......on second thought......we will have to boat another day.
The wind is really whipping out of the SE. High tide was at 12:12pm, just about 2 hours ago. Here is what my back yard looks like at 2:00pm.
