No real injuries, the bruises and bumps. We were advised that the sustained winds had been measured at 69 knots!
We consider ourselves very fortunate.
Mariah's Song, and we will return after repairs.

We were anchored in Longuissa Bay that evening. Hard to beleive all that Mayhem was happening so very close. I am very happy to hear that all hands where rescued safe and sound.

Thank you, we've been hearing a lot of positive things about Hindson's since Saturday. We are hoping to have her back for a 2 week vacation in August. Having said that, I don't believe in rushing quality. When she's finished, we'll deal with vacation plans then. In the meantime, we have the kayaks to play with.

Re: Storm July 08, 2016 Georgian Bay
You stated you were unable to make headway. Did the winds blow you backwards or did you get turned by the winds? Was your bridge enclosure up? Did that cause you not to be able to make headway. Were you on the bridge or were you piloting from the lower helm station? If not, could you have done better from below or was there just to much wind to overcome?
I once way back in 1997 come home from Put in Bay Ohio back to Bolles Harbor in gale force winds on Lake Erie. Winds were sustained at 47 knots with gusts over 55 so they say. For the record I was travelling with the wind and waves that day. It would have been impossible to travel against both wind and wave.
The boat I had at the time was a 1996 Bayliner 2855 Ciera. That boat was, so far, the best rough water boat I have ever owned.
