I chalked it up as one of the more interesting and stimulating experiences in my life.. :) That's the way I felt about Camille. An interesting and stimulating experience to have under one's belt. But that's only when you're young and strong and lucky enough to survive to reflect on it. I'm more circumspect about them now. Re this scenario, I saw a disaster movie (or maybe it was a book I read) not too long ago that starts with the loss of access to port there and the subsequent oil shortage. Wish I could remember the name of it.

I got into a 100 mph + storm off of N Calif on a 100' fishing vessel once. Tore up the rigging something awful with steel poles banging into the wheelhouse and stuff just flying everywhere. (I happened to be on midnight to 4 am watch) Thankfully we had one of the west coasts premier sailors as our captain. We had to go into Sausalito for a months worth of repairs. What fun for a teenager. -gg- We headed out for Hawaii afterwards and were relieved. The rest of the story would make an incredible novel. ;) M
