After Ike, friends of ours knew people that owned a winery. Frascone Winery in Anawack, Texas , about 45-50 miles from Seabrook, tx where we live. After Ike nothing standing in that town, only bottles of good wine in a ditch no label, covered in mud and under debris. The owner was there, Mr. Jim Frascone looking at everyone picking up the wine , he so hard labor to make. This was his life literly going down the drain, so to speak. Everyone around was salvaging his spoils. Jim the owner could do nothing but watch, and told everyone take what you want. . I felt so sorry for him and his loss, I knew exacally how he felt. Since we lost our sailboat to the sea loaded with coffee from guatemal, coming out of Belize. I told him all the wine we take we will split the profits with you. I just wished when our boat went down , there would have been someone to make me that offer - which hubby put out on the radio - 10,000 dollars to anyone who can help save our boat. NO responce. All our resources to save the boat were gone. we were rescued around 3:00pm that afternoon New Years Day 2008
