Re: mdr alert, high winds next 3 days

Hello Mike,

Thank you very much for your report. My wife and I will be down there early this afternoon just to check out our boat even though if seems that it is OK. It is in space 173 - Chapter 2.

Bill, I'll post additional findings upon my return home.

Mike, thank you again.
