| These two boats were driven ashore. |
With the wind howling, these vessels were hoping their anchors held. |

After they were pulled to safety by hand, they still took a pretty good
beating from the waves! |

The Mexican Navy assisted many vessels with their powerful pangas. |
A Navy Seal heads into the water to attach a line to one of the stranded
vessels. |
Thanks! These Navy Seals spent hours in the water protecting and saving
vessels from Hurrican Ignacio!
It was like swimmimg in a washing machine! |

There were lines running everywhere in all of the Marinas securing boats,
but creating walking hazards! |
