Yikes. We had a nearby airport take a direct hit from a tornado a few years back, totaled 15-20 airplanes, but that was pretty much a freak occurrence. I think being an airplane owner in Fla would make me very nervous in hurricane season! Although I guess that's what insurance is for. Did you get another plane after that?
I won't be going to the Airline Regatta, but I will be racing on Lake Eustis, just north of MCO, tomorrow and Sunday. Looks like very light air though, so we will probably be doing more drinking than racing!
That's my usual method of sailing regardless of the wind!
