Dec 31 Coming from Maine, I'm stuck in Danbury, CT and decided to ride out the storm here rather than run the gauntlet crossing the Mario Cuomo Bridge, taking the Garden State Parkway and NJ Turnpike in a major night snowstorm. I hope to be on Ocracoke by Sunday night. Note: Portsmouth has a $25 boat fee and there is a social tally rally at my house on Dec. 31. <petevankevich...>, cell/text 202 468-2871 or via my Facebook message Best, /Peter Vankevich
