Hurricane Patricia Hits Mexico

Our friends aboard Grinn II - a Hunter 49 - is in a marina in Nuevo Vallarta (just a bit north of Puerto Vallarta). They sent two messages prior to 5 PM this afternoon pacific time.  The first was that they had been preparing Grinn II for the storm.  The second indicated that the marina was being evacuated and everyone taken to a shelter in the nearby resort buildings.   This is an immense storm and we hope our friends are safe.
