Andy & Derek took our ferry/supply boats over to our storm moorings in Paraqueta Bay, where the majority of the bareboat charter yachts are kept out of season.
It was a Cat 3 apparently, but it was moving fast with a small eye, so we only lost a few trees and there was no structural damage at all. It made a nice change to be in a well-built resort made of reinforced concrete! 
Ah well, at least my 40th was memorable! Just think, if the company sale had gone through in Aug as planned, some of you may have been in this too!
