Hey, there ya go.
If we were on the Gulf, I'd offer to give you a ride.


... Roger
is right, we had 35 fters that took out a wheelhouse window and
cracked one side of the wheelhouse.


I bet it was not the height of the wave, instead the height (and mass)
of the breakers riding atop the waves. It doesn't take a 35 footer to
build up a rolling, roiling crest. Another issue is that the data
bouys often mis-state wave height because the breaking part of the
crest goes by too fast to register.


The USCG refused to only evac terry she was injured , sprain
ankle, and skipper and they said worse weather that night.

Yep, that's the way they do business. It's so that they won't have to
come back a second time for the others.



I'll update you all as soon as I get my boat back.

Wish me luck. and thanks for your concern.

Excellent, wish you all the best and that we soon hear of Red Cloud's
arrival in port!


BTW we will be on CBS morning show in the morning.


We don't watch TV but it'll be good publicity.

Good luck!
