we lost the bow of the dinghy and it exploded to bits against the rocks. stupidly thinking it would be safer to climb the ladder (seen in foreground) on dock then try to go over the rocks when the Starboard anchor started to go we waited for a lull then abandoned ship. by the time we got in it was blowing 50+ again. Stephen was cool until bubba lost his jacket and then we heared mom screaming, she was hanging on to the line hanging from back of boat and getting knocked about rather badly. all she had to do was let go and float, the line had 150' attached to life float 20' from the dock!
I'll list damages fully in further post but quick one,
dinghy and motor,
laptop dripping wet,
pieces of T/V scattered all over cabin,
Solar panels went sailing,
Mizzen boom gooseneck looks like a broken arm.
looks like a foot or so of water above soles.
haven't tried generator yet but cant believed it stayed on cabin top the whole time!
And yes, i did go to a real church to give thanks.
I'll be seting up a fund for begging donations but till then
