the summer storms have finally started.
we had some straight line winds tonite at the harbor.
the force was probably in the range of 70-80 mph.

the heavy catalina 25 survives the storm and became a blocker for a ranger 26.not much damage.

these guys that aways laugh at me for having so much stuff on my boat, well the lightweights were flying tonite.

several boats just picked up and layed down on the pavement.
oh! forgot to mention, we leave all boats on trailers in apaved lot with anchors.

even veterans sailors forget and tie their boats to the anchors with rotten line.

probably take several days to crane these back up on to their trailers.

thanks to a heavy boat and lots of convienences on board i'm snug in my space.

now get that ranger off my starbord side.
