Everyone OK in the Gulf area? 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
