You can email them to me, and I'll put 'em up on SFN's server, if you'd like. |

With all that is involved with dealing with my ordeal, I have had no desire or time for much internet. However! I finally emailed Dave some pictures from 2 days after the storm, for him to post here for me. When Dave posts them, you'll see some pictures of the boat as the storm left it. I have since righted it, to about 5 degrees off straight up. It was at about 25 degrees. I used 2, 20 tonne bottle jacks and big timbers for shoring but have not taken pics of it and as it sets now. The visible damage is extreme. I'm trying to figure how I might lay the boat over on its port side gently, and get some plywood and epoxy, to patch on the hull. The boat is 18,000 pounds, so I can't just push it over for fear of more damage to the port side, which it has it's share of already on the starboard side. All before another storm comes, if one does (Igore?). Then I could drag it in to the water to re float it. The prop shaft and rudder are damaged to much to be usable so it will have to be towed.
I have located my camera inside the boat and it seems to be intact. I'll do my best to get more pic's. One thing is clear, the boat will not be restored to the condition it was. The best I can do is patch it , get it re-floated and back on another mooring for the time being. Until I can better assess the best direction to go. I'll be using a friends mooring who is in Trinidad right now, who gave me permission. I have no step plans but much take this one step at a time. To many unknowns are at play to plan to far ahead. SS
