Dear Nathaniel, I hope you and Sabine are again comfortable on the Island. What's on my mind, and I hope my telling you isn't offensive, is the vulnerability of open casement windows to the gusts of high wind that occur in Madaket. Be aware that the wider these windows are open, the greater the risk that a strong wind will severely damage, if not destroy them. Please take care accordingly. Stay well and happy. Love, Jochen
