Just returned home to Miami after evacuating my airplane to Marathon
(Key West was full). There were 4 DC-3's, more than a dozen
Continental Express Beech 1900's and about 100 more fleeing GA
aircraft including some from the Bahamas. Folks at Paradise Jet
Service were great. Real nice place to stop. Marathon had plenty of
motel rooms as the big Labor Day Weekend was a washout.

Marathon was almost full Friday by noon. Winds did not allow more than
a couple of aircraft to get out until this morning (Monday).

I am learning that the National Hurricane Center maps predicting path
are VERY accurate (+/- 100 miles) out 3 days. No reason not to use
them as a guide on where to go. For Ivan I will try to end up at least
200 miles from the predicted landfall point.
