What's more interesting about this hurricane season is not necessarily Katrina, not to downplay its significance. It's the fact that we're up to hurricane Maria already (out in the Atlantic, not coming here). Tropical Storm Nate is on its heels. Fortunately, current conditions will keep those out to sea. For the last two years, the Annapolis to Oxford race was ruined by Isabel and Ivan, occuring in mid-September. "I" was awhile ago.
