Radar on a cell phone

schlackoff? Are you saying the CG should require that ALL water taxis carry --
and monitor -- a radar enabled cell phone?

Um, no. I'm saying that, as many have argued in the thread and as has
now been proven, your statement (quoted here again

jeff, ONLY a sailor of training wheels is totally oblivious to an
approaching
thunderstorm until 10 minutes before it arrives. The rest of us know their
potential exists for that particular day well before we cast off, and we can
see one developing for a couple hours or more. This ain't rocket science,
except to those floating on training wheels (who be definition are scared
squatless of the water).

is total BS.

Do suppose it might be more effective to require water taxi drivers to be able
to understand weather?

Hey! Wait a minute! Water taxi drivers are required to be able to understand
weather.

Understanding the weather wouldn't have mattered a whit in this case,
which is the point. There was a total of 10 minutes of warning for the
cell that hit the taxi. 10 minutes is nowhere near your claim of seeing
potential storms developing for hours or more. I.e, what happened is
exactly what you said can't happen. Your claim that "we can
see one developing for a couple hours or more" is now unequivocally
proven to be total BS, just as we all suspected.
