When Juan passed through here in September of 2003, we doubled all the lines connecting the Mirage 33 sailboat to it's slip... but forgot to add extra line to wrap around the genoa... in fact we should have taken it down. The sail was blown out and ripped to shreds..... an $1800.00 loss. I believe the owners insurance covered it. |

We're beginning to see a little wind, and radar shows a lot of rain incoming shortly. -- I'd much rather be a champion of the powerless than a lickspittle of the powerful. |

Talk about a no-brainer. Wind equivalent of arson, almost. Do you hand Ming vases to toddlers? To digress slightly, here in Iowa we get tornados and there is very little warning. We just had most of a town destroyed. More than a hundred dead. Casady |

Laziness and carelessness should not be rewarded. Just ups the rates for the rest of us. |
