BTW,,,,What is with the USCG in Texas, are the puddle sailors on Texas
based cutters PUSSIES?

3-5 foot seas and 18 knot winds????? Had to turn around? WTF?

After what happened to Joe's boat Red Cloud, and then reading this I
think so.

Or is it the 24 billion dollar budget did not allow for diesel fuel on
cutters?

The Coast Guard station at Freeport dispatched a rescue boat but it
had to returned because of bad weather. The Coast Guard air station at
Corpus Christi launched a Falcon jet, and the cutter Manowar was also
dispatched to assist in the search.

The Coast Guard may call in a fixed-wing C-130 aircraft to assist in
the search.

Seas were running 3 to 5 feet near the boat and winds were in the 15-
to 18-knot range Saturday night, said Jim Atchley head coach of the
sailing team.

Must be a USCG Training Base for SAR or something. Up here in Alaska,
those conditions are called "FLAT CALM".... We don't even broadcast
Wx Alerts till the Winds are over 40 KPH, or the Seas are bigger than
10 Ft. Double that for the Bering Sea..... Gulf Coast Sailers must be
pussies, wossies, or some sort of Limp Wristed Mammals.....
