John wrote another story about Carl, it's a pretty good story, he managed to
rescue another sailor in distress before they both went down. Can't recall the title, it's at the SailNet site. Oh, something I almost forgot, Carl actually was responsible for saving someone's life, but you'll have to read the story to find out how. John Cairns "Joe" wrote in message om...

What course would you plot? Why? Perfect eye huh? Joe SW, NE quadrant is the most dangerous. http://tinylink.com/?JCNAFNF59S Good story. Yeah.... except Carl died. You are right... a SW course would be the safest way out. However we know the storm was going strait over Bermuda and Cuba. If you had a fast enough boat and lots of luck you could follow the eye to harbor, of follow it along until it loses some strength before heading SW. Woulden't that be something? Wonder if a USCG helo would be willing to pluck someone out of the eye of a storm? Ive been in a few eyes on land and they are quite calm wind wise, once in the Gulf we had to standby to evacuate a rig until a full blown tropical storm formed around us, the seas are mighty confused but crystal clear skies and almost no wind.
