</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I recently had a thoughtful response to my query to the Commodore of the Southern Yacht Club about the state of the Luders fleet there. He reports that the great pile of boats washed up on the southeast corner of their small harbor has yet to be untangled. This is not encouraging news as likely this implies much damage.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The Club website shows awful photographs of heaps of wrecked boats and the burned club house. No Luders were detected in the pictures.</FONT></P>
