Bwahahahahahahaaaa..... I'm not talking about pansy assed corrected time
you homo


People who want to race, but won't spend on a real racing boat LIVE on
corrected time.
It's a sad world for Loco. He might as well have a Catalina 22.

They Suck!!.... much like your boat!


Now, now, Mooron. Catalina and Express don't suck. They are okay boats. The
Catalina 27 may be the best family boat for the dollar ever built.
It's Loco who sucks and by virtue of that fact you can place him on a Swan or
Baltic and they to would suddenly suck.

Concur on the Catalina 27..... but I can claim a Mac26 is "okay" if that's
all you can afford... and you can't sail very well.... and are an Idiot!

I am copying two messages from this bulletin board related to boats
since I don't know the topography of Grenada at all -

"Just found out Gregg and Carol 'New Passages' are ok, he is passing
messages for others on airmail and sailmail ). Gary
and Sharon on 'Illusion' are OK but their boat is missing. Just talked
with Greg there are at the yacht club. The concrete dock is fine, the
building is trash ..minor damage on boat...two British war ships in the
area assisting (one is HMS Richman). He is becoming 'Radio Grenada'.
Winlink is setting up a special pmbo etc for him....Yahoo is ok. Clarks
Court is gone."

This was received from a boat in Clarks Court Bay Grenada that was
damaged but not sunk. They took the time to go look at our boat Sea
Witch at Clarks Court Bay Marina. Good luck to all cruisers in
Grenada

I hate to be the one but you might as well know it is very bad. I
haven't seen it yet but I understand there were only a few boats left
on the docks and Sea Witch was not one of them. I can't believe this
happened as soon as you left but there is nothing you could have done
if you were here. I understand there was a lot of damage to the boats
in the mangroves in Eggmont. Most of the boats in Mt Hartman are on
the beach. Boats that were on the hard at Spice Island and Grenada
Marine are on the ground. Also very bad picture from the lagoon. All
phones, radio, water, etc is out. No one even knows if anyone was
killed because there is no communication.
The weather service just kept saying it would turn north and most
everyone thought we had better anchorages here than in Trini. Many
boats did go south or to Venezuela. When it passed south of us we
really got the brunt. We hear on the radio that many roads are blocked
with trees or washed out. Most of the trees have lost all leaves and
most branches. Most houses have lost roofs. Most phone and radio are
out as well. Many of the boats that were at your dock washed ashore
with what appears to be little damage.
Dick just got back and he says the boat next to you is ashore, then
the finger pier and next is your boat partially ashore. He saw your
friend Bequia and he said tell you hi. His boat was sunk.
Let us know if there is anything we can do.

I too have been daily following the developments in Grenda at

http://stormcarib.com/reports/2004/grenada.shtml

and it's amazing how much damage was done and how little resources they
have. Grenada was flattened. Thankfully it appears that there's a quite a
bit of help on its way, but more is clearly needed. There are pointers to
several support groups in there.

I did find some aerial photos of the marina where I kept BlueJacket during
the 2001 hurricane season. Every boat is toppled. Sure glad that I wasn't
there this year!
