Fortunately Gary was able to weather the storm inland at a convenient Air B&B in Fort Lauderdale. Meantime his boat, Shared Adventure, also weathered the storm at the Las Olas marina. Fortunately the hurricane had changed landfall and he and his craft avoided the worst of the impact.

The guys were joined by Alex Landos, an international relief worker, who described efforts to bring people out of the Florida Keys.  Alex is a recognized photographer who has helped with rescue efforts around the globe.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”black” border_width=”5″][vc_column_text]
