Glad he got through with little (physically) the worse for wear… the weather from Friday on surely wasn’t what I’d call recreational sailing weather, so one can wonder… other than the survival suit, it doesn’t sound like he anticipated much trouble – inferring (perhaps incorrectly) from the fact that his survival and ditch equipment weren’t apparently enough together to grab and run… Note to self: get mine straight…

Would be curious to know a tad more about the vessel, because if he was correct, ten foot seas (breaking… probably…) aren’t totally unexpected along there in that wind…

Glad he’s okay…
