[Rhodes22-list] How to Sail in the Med

[Geankoplis]

Thanks,
	Nick and his boat are up north in Croatia, but even on the islands
there are fires and ash raining down on the boat.  They mentioned that a 50
foot American cat got hit by a local wind called a Bura that, according to
the Americans, heeled 45 degrees over with the windward pontoon way out of
the water.  Kinda makes me worry about the kids on the 22 footer.  I told
them to keep the lower hatch board in and locked.  Other than that, they are
having a great time from what I hear.  I loved your job description!  What
fun!
Chris

Chris,

It's nice to "meet" Nick.  Great web site.  Beautiful work.  So sorry to
hear about all the fires in Greece.  Hope it's not affecting Nick.
