Hi all, I want to wish everyone the best as Sandy comes in. This is one more time I am glad that I got a trailer thrown in with my M-23 purchase! We got the trailer out of the shop Saturday morning (new brakes, tires, lights, coupler and plumbing), put on new wood guides and slapped on the old bunks then hauled down to the marina and pulled her last night. Nice to have her on kinda high ground. And to have that much ballast keeping her in place! All the best and stay safe neighbors! Cheers, Robbin

Aside from some surge and higher tides (full moon), we dodged another. I have a blown shoulder that I'm having some surgery tomorrow so I couldn't get SeaFrog trailored to higher ground. I doubled up lines and removed the sails. I went down to check on her this morning. Other than getting a dock line wrapped and twisted around the engine throttle, all was fine. The bottom of the keel was even with the dock. Very strange looking up at your topsides! Sandy is now north of us where she is expected to do most of her damage. So sad to report that the HMS Bounty sank 90 miles off the coast of Cape Hateras a few hours ago. Coast Guard is picking up survivors as we speak. They have accounted for 50 out of 70 crew. Don't know the details on why she was out there in the first place.

I had the numbers wrong. The cryptic message was garbled and what was said was 15 out of 17, not 50 out of 70 as I had said earlier. You can read more of this at http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/story/2012/10/29/ns-hms-bounty-hur... My son spent a year on the Nina & Pinta and was papering his application for the Bounty......

That is a shame, we were on the Bounty back in August up in Provincetown Harbor MA. Just happened to be there when she pulled in and opened up for tourists. Met the crew (mostly volunteers) and poked around the ship. Sure hope they are all doing well. Certainly is a shame about the ship. She was absolutely gorgeous under sail!

I've been following this most of the day. They just found one of the crew, Claudine. She was non-responsive but had vitals. Luckily she and the rest of the crew were wearing imersion suits. My son shared some time with her on the Nina last fall. The captain is still unaccounted for. Say a little prayer!!
