Hi All,

It might not be related to C34, but to sailing.
Pretty sad story.

You have to wonder what the hell they were thinking considering all the advance notice that came with this storm...   :donno:

I'm glad I got the chance to see and tour the Bounty.  I know it was "built for Hollywood" but it gave me a real appreciation for the golden age of sail.
Sad news,
Jim
