Glad to hear you’re okay, Dennis. Hang in there.

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. Dennis C.

BTW, either a storm jib or storm jib + 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.

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 Bill Hoyne Mithrandir ’74 C&C35 MkII in Victoria,BC Thanks to all of the subscribers that contributed to the list to help with the costs involved.
