Greetings Cruisers! The hurricane season is ending, and that gentle breeze you may have felt recently was a collective sigh of relief. It came from those of us who are located in the Gulf, Caribbean, and east coast US regions, as we made it through another season without a serious blow.
Whew! 
In any case, we are now re-printing a small brochure from a Soundings magazine cover story titled “How to Survive a Storm at Anchor” by noted author Tom Neale. Tom and his wife Mel have lived and cruised aboard their boats since 1979, averaging 3,000 to 5,000 miles per year, including 19 winters in the Bahamas.
You can find out more information about Tom & Mel at tomneale.com
We are in the process of re-doing our web site and so this valuable brochure will be available for download soon, but in the meantime we would be glad to mail a copy out to you so you can have this important information before the next big storm!
Please e-mail us your address and we will send out a copy of this brochure immediately. Our Fortress e-mail address is:
info@fortressanchors.com
I am also going to have Bob Taylor, retired US Navy soil mechanics expert, and E.S. “Mac” Maloney, former long-time author of the Chapman’s guide books, weigh in on a couple of anchoring topics.
There is some misinformation going around in the forums that I would like these guys to address. They both have well over 40 years of experience and no products to sell!
Happy holidays,
Brian Sheehan
