Dont Fret Roger I heard from someone who knows Joe & Terry. They now
live on a 45 footer in Seabrook. Joe had another boat load off coffee
to be delivered to a grocery store. He stayed aboard sent his crew
ashore and kept a ketch from plowing over the dock on top of him as
the roller furler opened in steady 115 kt winds. The city of Seabrook
washed into his marina during the eye. Said he clocked a gust at
158mph. He was surrounded by sunken boats when it was all over.

He lost part of a rub rail and a sampson post.
