Glad to hear all of the New Orleans people and their vessels are surviving; it
is a testament to experience and preparation, exactly what every sailor on this
list preaches for themselves and new comers alike!
As usual, the leftovers from Ida pass through the Ohio valley today and we will
get a significant rise in the Ohio River levels...my dock will get about 12
feet of water over it...so we have to move to floating docks in a local
marina,,,

The Admiral and I spent a scary sleepless night listening to 50-70 mph gusts
working on the many big trees around the house. One branch took out a couple
panes of glass in the master bedroom and the top 15-20 feet of a large oak tree
in the front yard bent over but stayed in the tree. Lots of branches in the
yard this morning. Otherwise we’re okay.
Fortunately, the eye passed about 20 miles east of us so we got very little
rain.
We have no power, internet or cable. We just got cell phone service about an
hour ago.
The water in Touche’s marina was 4.5 feet over the dock. I have not heard any
news about Touche’ yet. The water is still high in the marina.
Our friends in New Orleans might not have been so fortunate. Hope to hear from
Ed Levert and Kevin Benoit but suspect it may be a while. A major electrical
transmission tower blew down and left all of Orleans Parish without power. That
will not be an easy fix.

triple reefed main works for me in 50. 50 foot waves though …………………..I think I
would pass on that one! That is almost mast height! YIKES! I have never been in
waves higher than the boat is long and look to continue that trend. Joe

All, I am on a drillship just south east of hurricane Ida. We rode out the edge
of the hurricane last night. We were about 80-100 miles from the centre of the
storm. It was a bumpy ride! Saw some 50’ waves and 50+ knots wind. Lots of big
breaking waves. I was wondering what sail configuration would have worked out
here :-) :-) If the internet is working better I will try to join the meeting.
The Hurricane is about to hit New Orleans and Louisiana later this morning.
Lets let Dennis and the southern gang know we are thinking of them! I wish them
all the best, it’s going to be a tough go! Stay safe out there!! Bil
