[C320-list] Hurricane coming.

[Timothy Woods]

Rod,

Unfortunately Dinner Key is in Coconut Grove and owned by the city of
Miami.    (They don't haul boats.) I was on a mooring and moved to a slip
for insurance purposes. The mooring contract has a disclaimer saying not
suitable for hurricane use.

Thanks, Tim
