#426 Surprise






> First, I would like to thank all of you who sent me your sympathy and
> encouragement, and even a Thai chant for Alberg #306 that was hauled at the
> Spice 
> Island Marina, Grenada at the time Hurricane Ivan devastated the island.
> Almost a month later, Alberg30 hull # 306 was found at the bottom of a pile
> of yachts. It was righted again in the boat yard.
> For those of you who encouraged with the fact that the Alberg30 hulls were
> built to the highest of standards (Thank you Whitby Boat Works, Canada) I am
> pleased to report that you were correct!
>   I have just received pictures that show that my hull was not damaged. I
> lost my mast, deck stanchions and a lot of interior damage, but the floating
> part after being slam-dunked by Mother Nature seems to be intact.
> I hope none of you ever have to see your vessel ravaged by a hurricane. It
> is reassuring, however, that we all own a boat that can sustain such a
> disaster. Over 100 vessels on and around Grenada were total insurance losses.
>    I shall be returning to Grenada October 25th to begin the resurrection
> of my boat. If anyone can supply me with the Alberg30 mast dimensions and the
> procurement of a used or new mast, I'd be most obliged.
> Thanks again,
