Took on enough water that we had cushions floating and were using the handheld tsunami 1200 as an emergency bilge. Stereo is fried or at least partially - I think all 3 exile amps took a swim. I haven't done much looking into it yet honestly - haven't had the stomach for it yet. Biggest scare I've had on the water in 10+ years - I think 2 more over the bow would have been the end of the MobiusV.

The fires have been a big distraction. Earlier this week we had some relatives who live in the area evacuated at 3am and showed up on our doorstep with a few keepsakes and their pets. This is what it looked like on their road the night they left.

I just read about the fires up in Oregon and Washington. We had it pretty bad the week of the Labor Day weekend. Extremely hot (115) with smoke in the air. I will now quit bitchen after reading some of these posts and seeing some of those pics!
