Please excuse the picture; it is one frame of a video clip. I had left the camera set on video and Jill did not know how to change the setting. So this is a single frame of what she shot before she gave up.

An unoccupied houseboat's anchor came free in heavy winds and it drifted-back on Shibumi. You can't tell by this image but the wind was blowing very strong.

I had to use our dinghy to guide it clear of our ship. That is me in the yellow foul weather jacket. Jerry from the sailing vessel Poco Loco and a nice French Canadian couple from S/V Soluna came over to lend a hand.

Hi Dave,
Glad you got it before it did any damage. Very scary.

It was windy today. Hope it didn't cause any damage. You had to be cold on that water! Glad you got a helping hand, too!

Glad it worked out OK. Hope with all the excitement you didn't forget to drop the taxes in the mail. :-)
