Sail Crimson Dynasty

Working as scorer and cart driver for the LPGA Tour Qualifier Tournament in Venice for the next three days. Should be a lot of fun !!

We are safe in Tallahassee. Traffic was insane… we left at 9:30 am yesterday and it took 10 hours to get to Tallahassee. It usually takes 5 hours.

Crimson Dynasty is safe in a marina just south of Tallahassee.

Jim Cantore is in my hometown of Bradenton… if you know, you know. UGH !!!

What do you do with a boat when another Cat 3 hurricane is forecast for pretty much a direct hit?? RUN…. I have a crew taking the boat to Pensacola.

Praying for the people that will be affected by this storm. We are making a decision this afternoon on evacuation.

It’s been a crazy couple of weeks… huge lightning strike on the boat behind us knocked out some electronics on both of my engines as well as numerous sailing/navigation components. We’ve had to stop charters while mechanics and insurance sort this out.

And now Hurricane Helene decides to pay a visit to Florida… sideswiping Bradenton but headed right toward the Big Bend area. Forecast here is 40-45 mph winds for a few hours and 5’ - 8’ storm surge.

We will be in Venice for a couple of days and check on Crimson Dynasty this evening.

Excited to say we passed our US Coast Guard mast and rigging inspection. We had to have the mast and rigging completely taken down for inspection and it will be put back up tomorrow. Next step… sea trial with USCG in Bradenton and send inspection reports to Washington DC headquarters.

We are getting closer to being certified to take 12 passengers on our cruises. Office parties, weddings, bridal parties, retirements, birthdays…. or just a group of friends.

Thank you everyone for your prayers for Hurricane Idalia. We dodged the bullet on this one… winds only got up to around 30-35 mph with localized flooding.

My condo is fine. Just checked on boat and happy to report no damage or leaks. Storm surge is up 2’ and high tide will add another 2’ around noon today. Winds will settle down around 4 pm today.

Let’s go “Cruise with Crimson Dynasty” while we roll into the Tampa Bay Area for our football game against USF !!

We are beyond excited to offer an amazing experience if you are attending the Alabama vs. USF game in Tampa, Florida…. or just live around the local area.

Our Chapter will be hosting day, sunset and night cruises on Tampa Bay aboard the majestic “Crimson Dynasty” on Thursday, Friday and Sunday, Sept. 14-17.

“Crimson Dynasty” is a 48’ Leopard catamaran and has chartered day/sunset cruisers as well as 7-10 day trips in Florida, the Florida Keys and the Bahamas.

“Crimson Dynasty” will be downtown at the Tampa Convention Center Marina, right beside the Tampa Riverwalk, and just one block away from the JW Marriott and Amalie Arena.

We WILL NOT conflict with the Tampa Bay Crimson Tide party on Friday night and we encourage everyone to attend their event.

Special Alabama guests MAY be available for certain cruises… details to come. We are awaiting confirmation as their schedules are finalized over the next few weeks. Please check back regularly for updates.

Parking is available for a fee at the Tampa Convention Center.
