Joe,

My Son is the Mountain Man. The first time I went up Mt Baker and seen
the height, it scared the S--t out of me. He took to it like "Duck to
Water"

Mt Hood is a dangerous Mountain, especially a winter climb.

We had a dozy of a Storm out here this past week-end. For the second
time since I sold the Boat, I was glad.

A brand new big Cat washed up one the beach upside down. It was on
delivery from So. Africa. The 3 man crew is missing.


Thom, not sure if you realize it, but you're adding a bunch of blank lines
to the end of your posts...

Also, it's interesting that despite the likely terrible conditions, the cat
didn't sink. I'm wondering if a mono would have survived at all.

When I was down in Belize a few years ago, right after a hurricane, I was
told by the staff of the charter company that one of their 40' cats had been
sent out to sea and capsized during the storm. All hands were lost except
for one person who had lashed himself something below deck. Apparently, all
hatches blew and the water rushing through dragged everyone else out. Still,
it didn't sink.
