T&T: Insurance Companies

[Seasalt007@aol.com]

Without saying anything that would get us sued, could we possibly start  
naming insurance companies and commenting on their behavior toward us vis-a-vis  
cruising limits, claims and rates?
 
There are only a few big ones that we all use. Why not start an informal  
data base for next time? I'll change in a NY minute if mine starts getting  
unreasonable.
 
Mine is Markel American administered by USAA. I had already decided to  spend 
this year cruising the rivers (and moved the boat here last December) so  
didn't get affected by the cancellation flu that got others. My rate went down  
by almost half. We are going back to Florida in December and don't know whether 
 we will have to get out by June 1, 2007 or be able to stay.
