Ken, Yup, we're sitting on the shores of Hood Canal. Great crabbing and oysters but haven't dug clams yet. The big wind on Friday peaked at one of the highest tides of the year. The waves crashed over the bulkhead but it came through OK. You worry about your bulkhead because if more than 20% is destroyed, it is not considered a repair. It requires an environmental review with impact study to save your house. Our bulkhead is back on the high water mark and can't possibly damage the salmon, eel grass, etc. but you still never know where a review is going to lead.

Rusty, sorry for diverting the thread. I've told my engine guy that I don't need the 261 he's rebuilding right away since I'm in Wash. for a while and it will be a cold installation in the driveway when I get back. I probably should wait for a Chinook wind.....or June.
