Find out that Art has stolen his website files I made and posted them on a new webserver with all my copyrighted info still embeded, what a idiot!

Notify godaddy.com of the copyright infringment and file to have his domain name revoked, notify attorney and file legal charges. Monday will have a lean on his boat for compensation(like its worth anything), plan to donate it to a real charity for the tax right-off to collect some of my money or sink it for a artificial reef.

Uli comes out to the boat and we go back by FIU/”The Park” for
lunch, was yummy.

Got e-mail back from Bill Dietrich

Subject: Re: Hope you made it through the storm

Hello ! Sorry it’s been so long since I email’d or updated my log file, but the library here was closed for more than a week after hurricane Charley, so I was incommunicado. Even the phones have been down. Magnolia and I came through the hurricane just fine. The only damage occurred when I crept out to tie the dinghy down better in the middle of the storm, put my hand on the stern grill to steady myself, and bent the rod that holds the stern grill up. No other damage to my boat. But it was a scary experience. We had winds somewhere around 100-110 knots, I think. Howling white horizontal rain for long periods of time. The worst was when a storm surge current held the boats sideways to the wind; we rolled ferociously. One of my friends fell inside his boat and hurt himself. A couple other friends gathered their most important stuff into a bag in case they had to abandon ship. Out of 40 or 50 boats in the harbor, 4 or 5 sank or dragged anchor and were smashed against the shore, and were total losses. A couple more had significant damage. Several had sails shredded (a lot of people didn’t take down their roller-furled jibs, foolishly). The worst of the hurricane missed us by no more than 15 miles or so. On the day of the hurricane, about 6 hours before it hit, the forecast went “cat 2 – now cat 3 – now cat 4 – now right turn and it’s going to hit you” over the course of an hour or so. A lot of people are not happy with the weather forecasters. Ashore, the town of Ft Myers Beach took about 2 feet of water through the streets and buildings, ruining lots of first-floor furniture. Some roofs were damaged and water badly damaged the interiors. But I haven’t seen any houses actually torn down by the storm. Since I have no TV, and have been without internet and newspapers for 9 or 10 days, you probably know a lot more about the storm than I do ! My log file should be updated today.
