Carnival Sunshine, the blue boat in the middle, heading east looking as if she will go more to Bermuda than the Bahamas.

Not right now! Just returned from a 16 day cruise from near the top of the Mississippi to the bottom (New Orleans) on the world's largest paddlewheel steamship (The American Queen). Loved the nightly Broadway caliber shows, the seafood, (grouper, walleye, bass, rainbow trout, redfish, salmon, etc.) and the daily bus tours of port cities, especially Sun Studio, Graceland, the Louisiana swamps with gators, the antebellum mansions, the civil war battlefields, the houses and related buildings of Mark Twain, Ulysses S. Grant and Herbert Hoover)and even the haunted mansions and taverns! But right now I'm boat-shy!

Looks like she is about 400 miles east of Daytona beach and 300 miles east of the hurricane in gentle waters.
