I wonder where Frank W hunkered down. If I recall, his place is located such that in addition to wind damage it's likely storm surge could either pass through his house or hopefully under it. Anyone hear from him?
So here’s the “Paul Harvey” - the rest of the story (I’ll update the OP as well)
Day 8/9/10/11/12
Slipped at Dog River Marina due to Hurricane Michael. On Wed when Michael came ashore, we had N winds 15-20 gusts to 30. We were alongside with a 7 point tie heading 330 so the winds held us nicely off the dock.
Day 13 (Oct 12)
0740 Depart Dog River
1500 Enter Gulf at Pensacola Cut
Oct 13
0001 Taking 4’ swells abeam - Terrible Ride - not forecasted
Oct 14
0600 Abeam swells finally end - 36 HRs of terrible ride
0730 Enter Boca Grande Cut
1120 Arrived in Slip Tarpon Point Marina
440 nm/52 HRs
Ran at 8.5 KTs for timing arrival at Boca Grande after dawn. My MAN‘s got pretty good economy there as well started out at 7 GPH and ended up at 4 GPH as we got lighter. 375 gallons for 440 Miles. We did run at 80% load at the end for a while to clean out any soot. We use 62 GPH there, so we could not have crossed the Gulf from Mobile/Pensacola at that speed - 700 gallon capacity. We normally run 9 hrs Panama City to Clearwater on 560 gallons with a 20% reserve.
