Hurricane Ivan

Had an email from friends who were in Grenada for Hurricane Ivan. They and their boat are okay, but it sounds well scary. They were on shore in a hotel bathroom (no windows, but some other bathrooms in the hotel lost their roofs), their boat dragged anchor a bit but then held (they'd been advised that being on board very rarely makes a difference to whether a moored boat survives in that sort of situation, only whether you go down with it if it doesn't).
