Joe, just so you know... the sentence fragment is also grammatically
incorrect. It should read "Terry and me" not "Terry and I."


Why thank you Jon,

BTW we are looking for a new secretary....Opps I mean admin assistant.

Do you make coffee? Will you pick up dry cleaning, empty the waste baskets?.
can you type 35 WPM..If so... send me a resume we pay 3.25 an hour.

Joe

So, you believe that only secretaries and office assistants should
be able to write correctly? Got it. That's pretty low brow Joe.
I was just trying to give you the benefit of my education.

Last year we had a F9 which didn't cause a problem in the marinas.

AFAIK, the biggest storm that has hit us was in 1989. IIRC, only one marina
had a pontoon float free of it's pilings.

Here in Apalachee bay (NE corner of Gulf of Mexico), predicted storm
surges for a category 4 hurricane is over 20 feet. In the 1800s there
was apparently at least one hurricane here with such a surge. I have
read there are indications of storm surges as high as 25 feet before
1600. A category 5 could easily produce a surge in excess of 25' due
to the very shallow water here.
Oddly, there are many houses built on the ground and even many mobile
homes that have been here for 40 years. This just means that the
surge area is limited and large surges do not occur often. However,
even the march 1993 Storm of the Century caused a 15' surge at
Steinhatchee and that was only about a category 2 level.

So, at high tide, you have pilings that are 21minus16 feet above the
surface.
That sounds like 5 feet above the surface to me.

Top marks!

Let's see now... Your pilings are 5 feet above the surface of the water at
high
tide, and a storm surge makes the tide an extra 9 feet above that.
Hmmmm...


Emmmm ... we don't get storm surges like that.



Last year we had a F9 which didn't cause a problem in the marinas.

Forget wind, how high was the storm surge. This thread is not about the
Beaufort
scale.

marina
had a pontoon float free of it's pilings.

Then your storm surges must generally be less than 5 feet for the most
part.

You are a genius!

Otherwise your docks would all rise over their pilings and take off.

Correct.


You have confirmed that in your area, pilings are not equipped to deal
with more
than a 5 or 6 foot storm surge.

Yes.

Thanks for confirming that Loco is a lubber.

Idiot! How do you think that the degree of storm surge in my locality has
any affect on Loco's abilities as a seaman?

I think that you have just confirmed that you are a bit stupid.


Please feel free to prove me wrong by demonstrating how the Portsmouth
"storm surge" is related to Loco's abilities.

heh heh, You might be right!

If my ISP forwards any complaints to me, then I'll report them to the group.

Sadly, I suspect that BB will mark his complaints "Confidential". sigh

Your wrong Jonboy, I think everyone should be able to write correctly.

That's pretty low brow Joe.

Hey I admit I'm not the best speller, and I'm lousy at proper grammer.

Thats why I hire a secretary to write letters when the grammer and
correct spelling is important. Id rather focus on other skills.

I was just trying to give you the benefit of my education.

Thats mighty nice of you there Jonboy.

I will try to do better.

Please keep up the grammer Nazi role to motivate I.

Perhaps there should be a permit required to use the Internet. And
fines for those who mispeel words.
