From an email sent by Chris:

Just thought you’d like to see that, praise the Lord, the men are putting in those massive concrete blocks not only behind the main breach up the way, but also behind “our” bit of wall  structure to strengthen it up; I had been a bit afraid that, because the wall wasn’t actually breached at that particular point there, they would simply be replacing the parapet wall but not reinforcing it.  However, it looks as though we will end up better protected than before the storms, which is great.

From me:

No time fer writing ’cause I’m goin’ fishin’ agin!
