We are gathered here today to mourn the death, and celebrate the life of our long lived friend Bertha. From smashing beginnings, to a spectacular end, Bertha is one we will always remember. But with every Death, comes rebirth. As we follow Cristobal, and now, let Dolly into our lives, we will never forget her. May she fishspin forever in our hearts.

They had to end it. It was almost off the map.

How many times did she become a cane fall back to TS then become a cane again? Did she set a record for that?

Not even close to the record, BA.

Bertha was a great way to kick off the 08 season, the A storm didn't count IMO. Thanks Bertha.

KWT · #4396 Postby **KWT** » Sun Jul 20, 2008 12:22 pm

Yep Bertha was a great little taster for the season ahead, also got to major status and broke a fair few records in the process.
