So scary to have received those updates via email and be inland away from your vessel. Was this a Chubasco-type weather event? We hope the repairs go smoothly!<br /><br />Katie and MarkControlled Jibehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02769587881793376351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845563194035382474.post-89959169561136326492012-04-29T00:05:07.977-07:002012-04-29T00:05:07.977-07:00Meri, Jim, and Tim, sorry to hear about the damage...Meri, Jim, and Tim, sorry to hear about the damage to Hotspur.

I am scheduled to return to Bahia tomorrow - Jim & kids will stay in Spanish school. With hurricane season creeping near, we feel we should get repairs underway as soon as possible. I'll write in a few days.

It does look like you'll want to do it properly--but it doesn't look urgent.<br />If the other boat has insurance you might just start there--your Spanish class might be salvaged. You'd have so much fun...Diane, Evan, Maia and Charlie the cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607359149594812176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845563194035382474.post-7510070114416887182012-04-23T09:22:38.626-07:002012-04-23T09:22:38.626-07:00Laura...
I know that this was a 30 minute gale. So...Laura...<br />I know that this was a 30 minute gale. Some cruisers reported 40+ knots while others clocked much more - like 70. Who really knows? Remind you of a weather bomb in La Cruz?? I think some of the moorings dragged and others had shackles that broke. I really don't know since I'm not there. We've had several people give us bits and pieces, but the priority yesterday was helping the guy who's boat was totaled.hotspurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06610311943983760348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845563194035382474.post-80686717511069116442012-04-23T07:03:21.469-07:002012-04-23T07:03:21.469-07:00Oh Meri!

That must have been one heck of a storm!<br />LauraJust a Minutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09620231869880400675noreply@blogger.com
