[PUP] Diesel Duck reports

[Robert STRAGHAN]

Three Ducks got caught in a surprise
typhoon near the Philippines at the end of June.

Ruth and Randal Johnson, 462 #5 were
anchored in a safe location,

Don McIntyre, 462 #6, and Ben Feldman, 382
#2 were both caught out at sea as they were transiting from Hong Kong to Subic
Bay.  Don with crew Dave Nagle, who were closest to the Philippines, put up
all sails and averaged over 9 knots for 20 hours making it to a sheltered bay
north of Subic with two hours to spare.  Ben, his first sail on his new
boat, got caught out and was severely trashed for about 30 hours. He was
very close to the eye of the storm.  No major problems and both boats are
now safely at the Subic Bay Y.C."
