Mr Zip on Vacation? Active "summer" season

Yesterday (Wednesday) we received our mast's "sock" in the mail. This was shipped Priority Mail on Friday so it seemed to me that we should have received our 3-gallon epoxy kit that we ordered last Tuesday.  I called up RAKA and they said it had been sent but they had a problem at the post office.  The postal employee said it couldn't be shipped via Priority Mail which is odd because they did it 3 weeks ago and many other times, so it is coming First Class. He said we should get it by Friday, but we'll see...

Maybe Mr Zip's vacation replacement just wasn't hip on such things... Probably doesn't even know that he missed Towel Day a couple of weeks ago :)

So It Goes...

On another front... As you probably know, "they" have forecasted that this will be an above-average, super-hyperactive summer season for those sorts of storms. I don't like to use the H-word.

Yesterday, Bob posted the 2005 storm map on BoatBits which had 28 named storms.  I was happy to see that none of the tracks were in our area of the Caribbean.  Check it out!
