I have seen so many jobs unfurl and shred over the years both in Monroe Harbor in Chicago and down here in Florida that I'm surprised that:1. yards allow people to store boats with jobs still on the furler;2. people haven't learned to safety tie their job when leaving the boat.Why aren't there more articles about ensuring good jib/genoa safety?Every time we leave for the weekend or expect winds more than about 20 mph when we're on the boat overnight we grab a sail tie and tie it around the jib.Unwrapped jib tip boats off cradles and tear them off anchors and moorings.Sheesh...

The Colorado storm moved through the Ohio valley tonight: we had some 60+ gusts; I saw jibs (not mine) unfurled and shredded in the marina; something I have never seen before -here at least!

All-time records were set for lowest atmospheric pressure ever recorded in several locations. The center of the low was at about 37.5 degrees north latitude, 102 degrees west longitude, at Manter, Kansas just east of the Colorado border. Category 2 hurricane-strength winds were recorded in northeast Colorado while snow was falling, creating a snowicane. The system consisted of a cold air mass moving southeast from Canada, swirling with moist warm air moving up from the Gulf of Mexico. Of course that created nasty blizzard conditions in the northwest quadrant of the cyclone over the Colorado plains including the Denver metropolitan area. All ground and air travel in eastern Colorado was shut down and is just recovering today. This was a rare meteorological event; I’ve never seen anything like it in my lifetime here. I’ve uploaded a screenshot of http://hint.fm/wind/ taken at about 11:00 MDT last night to https://drive.google.com/open?id=1biBx_8VUDGuU_GtEgmYIr1nWGhIDFGGq which clearly shows the counter-clockwise rotation in the national wind pattern. This article https://weather.com/safety/winter/news/2019-03-13-bomb-cyclone-winter-storm-ulmer describes the details of the bomb cyclone. Time to go remove snow from by boat again. I’m so done with this winter already. Good thing I’m doing a BVI charter in two weeks :) Cheers, Randy Stafford S/V Grenadine C&C 30-1 #7 Ken Caryl, CO _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
