Blessings to King Neptune for sparing us the wrath of Florence. Out hearts go out to our neighbors to the South. Tidewater Virginia would be suffering like Wilmington and Lumberton except for a few degrees of latitude.

September is almost over and Nauti Nell's is getting ready for the parade of cruisers heading south. This is a wonderful time to go through your nautical gear and bring in your servicable equipment. Why pay to store your unused gear over the winter. Let Nauti Nell turn it into cash. If you have more than half a dozen items, give us a call so we'll be prepared to receive them. Don't forget to write up an inventory so we know and you know exactly what you have left for us.

We are also preparing for holiday gift giving. The season will be upon us before you know it. September is ordering month and, beginning in October, we'll have new stock arriving weekly. For the best selection shop early. Ashleigh, Jeanette, and I are looking forward to seeing all your smiling faces coming through the door. This promises to be the best season yet at Nauti Nell's.

Yours in Yachting,
Nauti Nell
