The wind is till howling through the rigging, particularly at night. It is not letting up. Tomorrow it is supposed to get up to as much Force 9 to the West of the island. I am hiding out with still 4 of the 5 French boats and one Dutch boat. I re-caulked my teak deck seams and still have a few other chores. But I have been spending most of my time translating “the Mastmakers Daughters” from the Dutch. This is a good spot for it. It is free and well protected. I am still awaiting news from Germany for my marine insurance application.
A new plan is forming. I might come home to the N.W. for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I will have more details in the next days.

- Taken in Istanbul: L.R. Carolynn & Patty Mitchell, Carol, Jane, Keith Benton and Jack. I still cannot believe how much Keith looks like my long time friend Sid Nesbit. What do you think?
