Sorry to hear about the loss of your boat and glad you weren't hurt. That's good you were compensated to your satisfaction.

Wow, you have lived my nightmare. Thankfully, you are OK.

What a harrowing experience that must have been. Glad you're okay.

I bought a typhoon this weekend. It is a big change from the CD 30 K but it will at least keep me sailing until I find larger CD.
