Hi all and first a heart felt thanks for all the good wishes, offers of a place to stay, and follow up calls after Gustav paid a visit. What a great bunch. Either by chance or fate, I seem to have ended up the clearing house for this area. Happy to report that with one exception there was no boat damage as far as I know. Those in Marina Del Ray, as best I can find out are all fine. All here is good. Minor damage. Mostly to the dock, a couple pieces of siding gone from the deck. One shutter blown off the front of the house. Thats it. Attached, I hope, is a before pic, of the boat and preperation. Note the lines from the small skiff in the sling, to keep it from drifting out, should the water get that high.
