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'll update you all as soon as I get my boat back.

Please do. Really hope you can retrieve her.

Do I properly assume you'll be modifying the wheelhouse a bit before
you do that trip again? ;-)
