    We have the Andor in the yard in Brookings, Or. along with Gary Burton's Elizabeth Ann to begin the  repair to damages we incurred during the tsunami surges.  The Andor took two direct hits to the stern by a boat that was released from its dock as the surge broke up the dock behind us.  The self-steerer and boomkin took the brunt of the hits which limited the damage to those items and some cracking to the upper rudder and some bolts pulled from the aft deck.  A third Westsail 32 in our port is Lee Perry's Patience which luckily was in Mexico at the time of the tsunami.  His usual moorage was on the dock that was broken apart,  allowing several boats to be pulled out to sea, three of which sank.https://picasaweb.google.com/115305986747169748151/ANDOR?authkey=Gv1sRgCISK3dz5zra_Zg#
