Looks like Ike may not throw a lot of wind at the Keys at this point. Sure hope not anyway. Looks like the waves will be up, 15 ft. + well offshore. Ideally for some epic surfing, fingers crossed for no storm surge or really big meteorlogic high tides to mess things up on land either. Looking at the forecast for tomorrow sounds like a good day to keep the kites in the bag. Doubt there will be a lot of holes between squalls from current indications. That is assuming you haven't evacuated. Given the swings in the news and predictions this week I wouldn't blame anyone for opting to visit Alaska for a while. Take care guys.
