[Capri25] big wind at the yacht club: bumper boats hopefully not on the agenda

[Barbara Holzl]

OMG!  Thanks for the heads up Heather!  We couldn't believe our eyes when we arrived out there tonight amongst other bewildered sailors in the dark.  Little 'ol me almost blew right off the dock, so everyone should have on a lifejacket.  Estimated to be blowing 60 and not appearing to be giving up soon.  We certainly needed to reinforce and then say a prayer for all our "ladies" to make it through the night.
 
Here's a quick video we shot illuminated only by our car headlights.

Hi everyone, I hope I’m not stealing Dallas’ thunder here but I just got a call from Jonathan. As of about 5 pm at WYC, the wind was pretty ferocious. Steve Bren and several others are working hard to keep things where they’re supposed to be, but it would be great if they could get a few extra folks on deck to help out. Also, maybe we could pull something together to keep an eye on the place tonight if the wind stays big.
 
I’m pretty sure this will go out to the Capri list but not sure if it will get the other fleets. If someone could spread the word, it would be fantastic. (Sorry in advance for any dual posts!)
 
Thanks!
 
Heather Fraser
