On Friday August 7, 2009 a terrible storm hit Panama City. Bill was alone on Grey Wolf and had to battle the wind and the waves for quite a while, trying to raise the anchor that had begun to slip. When he finally got it up it was tangled in a cable, a fish net, and a flotation device!! The next time Bill was on shore he spotted the remnants of a sailboat someone had left on a mooring. The above photo shows what happened to it when it slipped in the storm and blew onto the rocks... devastation like we have never seen before. We have seen boats beached, but never destroyed like this one...SCARY!

Looks like quite a storm! It really is tough getting the anchor up in bad weather. Glad you fared well.
We are adjusting to city life in San Diego. All is well.
Keep adventuring and keep us posted!
