Jon,
I met D&W in Back Creek during a blow on Labor Day weekend. Great people.
We shared several bottles of wine and he was very helpful getting a 30+ "rental" sailboat off my anchor rode. There were totally inexperienced people aboard and were being towed (dead engine?) by a dinghy (abeam). Blowing 20+ in the anchorage.
Interesting night. Exciting for my little Hunter 240. The girls had a great view from D&W's Westsail.
I have been tracking their progress and saw they gave up on Bermuda.
Ron
