Macha is safe and sound at the dock, but the gusts did blow out the diesel stove last night, causing billowing down drafts of black smoke!

The Santana 22 is dancing around on her dock lines, but the mast is still standing. Haha. Last big blow, the turnbuckles (non-open-body style with locking nuts on top and bottom) worked their way loose in the night. When I awoke, the lowers where thrashing around like whips and the mast was pumping ten feet from side to side.

I got to get out windsurfing in this heavy stuff!!!
