Well, gotta get something for the high taxes and lack of 2A rights.
I thought it was! It's a long story, but in the late '80s when I worked for the Dana Point Harbor Patrol, I/we (my partner who thought it was a good idea) almost became one with that jetty in our fireboat during a storm. We were hit by a "rogue" wave about a half mile off shore and blew the windshield out of the boat. Fortunately, neither of the 454 twin engines stalled and we limped back to shore with a bunch of water still in the boat. We missed being blown into the jetty by fifty yards. I actually miss the ocean, especially when it's rough. Ha! Ha! Have fun and remember, " Red (sky) at night, sailors delight. Red in the morn, sailors be warned".
Bah, I'll see your 51 and go to 41.some of us have some really warm hunting gear.
we were without power for about 36 hours. didn't get too frosty in the house, 51º F was as low as it got.
we are definitely not prepared for Arctic blasts, we got down to 11 or 12º yesterday morning, and tomorrow is looking like about 20º. Last time it was this cold here was 1989, then 1981, then some time in the early '60s before that.
By mid-February here, it's frequently early Spring - you'll start seeing the trees sprouting leaves and flowering plants start to bud.
(The dang Kanukistanis are now laughing at me in their igloos).

Yeah, well nobody (the neophyte sailing idiots) has the sails up in those winds. They bring the sails down and run on their "kicker" diesel engine, until they get their lines wrapped up in their prop while sailing back from Mexico in a storm and then call the harbor patrol to come and get them in the DARK, cause they're helpless and heading for the shore! I have several harrowing harbor patrol stories related to this. Although I've never been DG hunting, I can't imagine the adrenaline rush would be any greater than my "Two years before the mast"? by Richard Henry Dana. Great read.
I'm sure your safari planning will be a piece of cake compared to what you are currently experiencing. I'm sorry you have to go through this. Keep going one foot forward, prioritize and do what you can, cause that's all you can do.
Thanks. Every time we have this kind of trouble we always try to build back better whatever was damaged. We learn as we go.
+1! Bastard! Wishing for a Tsunami! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Hang in there Philip, and good luck and sunny days ahead to all you southern folk
