"Hove to" in Bahia de Los Angeles!!!


That's a 60 knot dust storm heading for the house at sunset yesterday.  Lots of damage in the town, power out, lots of mobile homes damaged.  A forty footer that had just been trucked into town was rolled over and totally demolished.  Lots of roofs and palapas damaged.  Been coming here for 25 years, that's the most wind I've seen down here?  Lower photo, roof almost done, little skylight in place and roofing paper goes on tomorrow.  Boy was it fun trying to move 4X8 sheets plywood in 20 to 30 knots of wind.  I capsized twice.
