Who said it's over Doug?, as soon as I have water to float a friends
trawler were off to beat the salvors and get my boat and coffee. Roger
is right, we had 35 fters that took out a wheelhouse window and
cracked one side of the wheelhouse. Noaa was off by 30kts of wind and
15-20 ft seas. The vid the USCG took were mid day as things laid down
(25ft). The USCG refused to only evac terry she was injured , sprain
ankle, and skipper and they said worse weather that night. I left the
genny running and deployed a drouge first, went to an anchor then
rigged a spare main sail as a para that finally held us to a 6kt
drift.


I wish you every success in recovering your home and your business, and I hope your year improves from now on in!
