Curmudgeon wounded in storms off of LA

[B Sailing/Alan Bates]

Terry Cantrell's Nelson Mereck 36 has been disabled off of Louisiana.  He was headed to the Isla Mujeres race Regatta del Sol, and race into a bad storm.  That is all I know.
This information came by way of a crew member supposed to do the race with him.
