The Galv Seawall is about 16-19' tall, and its curved at the bottom up to vertical at the top. That's why those waves are going straight up like that. Looks like they're hitting over 25' high from the curb. They're up over the street lights at some intersections. And if I were to sail out of here,

I saw a woman standing on the seawall, and a wave crashing next to her into the seawall was twice as high as she was tall.  If it would have been the storm surge, she would have been swallowed up fo' sho'! You could always go to plan B; just don't set the sails... Stanley --- On Fri, 9/12/08,

I'm just 30 miles from the Galveston seawall that the national news is covering. It looks like bedlam there, we haven't even had any rain or a steady breeze here, *yet*. I may go to a friends house about 20 miles west of here if it looks like the storm surge is going to be as bad as it says it is.

Thank u here also.  I am not in the direct path but we are getting winds, rains, and tornadoes.  I feel for the people in Galveston.  Gustav wasn't that bad when it hit here, although it was in the outlying areas, and Baton Rouge. It has been windy since yestereday.  This storm covers the whole G

Thanks! I'm boarded up, got pitchers of water in the fridge, a bag of snickers, and a sailboat in the garage as Plan B. I'm more apprehensive about after the storm personally, we may be without power for up to 18 days they're saying. We're still hitting mid 90s in the afternoons, that could get rou

Not that I could find, and I looked and looked. I'm sure there may be some way to fool it into working, but if its dead, how do you know if you're testing it right or not? I just went by process of elimination, my switch was good, my lights all lit up, an ohm meter from the switch to the relay on e

There should be a tool in your pouch that will make it easy to adjust. However, I am 6' 235lbs and the bottom line (no pun intended) is that, with that stock seat, an hour was about the max without some bit of discomfort. If you find something that will help, let me know. On Fri, Sep 12, 2008 at 6

If you look at the dial on the rear shock, there is numbers. The higher the number the stiffer the suspension. When you say "bottomed out" do you mean it's set at 1. If it is, then turn the dial to a higher setting to stiffen the ride. I would go a little at a time until you find a setting tha
