[Rhodes22-list] R22 capsize in Force 10

[stan]

Force 10.  That is 55 mph, and up, winds with giant waves.  I guess we 
will have to lower any claims to 50 mph winds.

I have spent most off my sailing days on the Great South Bay.  It is so 
shallow it is impossible to lose anything. And although on the ocean 
side of Long Island, there never was anything close to a force 10 storm 
in my day.  Global warming?

We did list once in the middle of the night when low tide had the family 
sleeping stacked up on top of each other.
