Well, we made it back safely.  The north end was a mess.  Saturday they had to do some rescues and there were some pieces of equipment still there Sunday morning.  We drill some holes and put the lines down and heard a crack.  We watched it for a couple of minutes and decided to get between it and shore.  A great move as it was over a foot wide in a while.  The others weren't so lucky and the Red Door had to send out boats to get the people off and closed the landing right away.
We went to the south end and did land two keepers.  I even got to reel one of them in.  haha.
