We hope all our South Florida friends and members are doing well
following Wilma. We will be open for sailing tomorrow and invite
people to come for a sail. Let the magic of Biscayne Bay energize
you. I was on the bay today. It was refreshing! 

We still do not have electrical power and telephone. 

We have made temporary repairs to the docks to allow access. 

Four sailboats will be available. 

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers. 

Sincerely, 

Harry Horgan

 What a storm!

 *Update: Oct. 25, 3:30 p.m.* 

 Florida Power and Light reports *90 percent* of residents are
without power in South Florida. 

Broken water mains, many residents without water. For those with
water, a boil-water alert has been issued.

Both major airports into South Florida, Miami International Airport
and Ft. Lauderdale / Hollywood International Airport remained closed
as did both major Sea Ports.

Broward looks like a war zone much like Cutler Ridge after Hurricane
Andrew. North Sails lost their roof and are in the process of finding
a temporay home. 

For the first time in its 46-year history, the Fort Lauderdale
International Boat Show has been held back. 

 

 Update: Local & State - October 27, 2005
Published by http://news-press.com 

 FPL manager Rob Risley stated Hurricane Charley caused significant
damage to power lines leading to neighborhoods and homes; *Hurricane
Wilma **destroyed the actual MAIN transmission LINES that run from
power plants to substations, along with the sub-stations. *

Southwest Florida residents should be thinking *weeks -- not days *--
about when power will be restored.

*Public Power Communities Assisting in Hurricane Wilma Recovery*

*To: State Desk *

RALEIGH, N.C., Oct. 27 /U.S. Newswire/ -- North Carolina's public
power communities are responding to Florida electric providers' call
for assistance. Officials from Florida electric providers have
contacted ElectriCities' Emergency Assistance Program, a program in
place throughout North Carolina's public power communities to assist
each other after natural disasters or large outages. 

Crews from North Carolina were dispatched beginning Monday, Oct. 24
to aid Florida crews in restoring power.

 update: *10/27/05 * 

 *Red Cross needs more volunteers 
to help hurricane victims*

By: Ella Nayor
Staff Writer 

FORT MYERS -- Calling all volunteers.

*-- /Help/.*

That's the message from the American Red Cross' Lee 
County chapter.

Florida received some nasty blows from Hurricane Wilma on Monday--
mainly in Bonita Springs, which straddles the Collier County line.
Collier County took a direct hit from Wilma as it punched its way
through the state. 

The acting chief of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, David
Paulison, urged tens of thousands of people who evacuated to wait
until authorities give the green light to go home. 

"Please, please don't go back until the local emergency managers tell
you it's safe to go back," Mr Paulison said in a news conference.

Florida and federal authorities launched a massive aid effort to
supply food, ice and other necessities to those affected by the storm
as President George W Bush declared a major disaster in the
south-eastern US state. 

"We have prepositioned food, medicine, communications equipment (and)
urban search-and-rescue teams," the president said Monday.

Massive power outages and curfews to prevent looting have slowed the
recovery efforts.

Workers raced about the Red Cross office in South Fort Myers on
Wednesday afternoon. The frazzled voice of a worker buzzed through
another staffer's two-way cell phone ---- "/Help/." 

*New record*

History books were being rewritten once again on Thursday as the
hurricane season, due to end officially on November 30.

Wilma took the title of strongest storm on record in the Atlantic
basin on October 19. -- AFP
