Steve should visit a few marinas in South Jersey where sportfishermen hang out, and find out what shops do decent work at decent prices building tee-tops and the like. Those shops will be able to handle his job in their sleep. -- * * * email sent to will *never* get to me. |

Those shops will be able to handle his job in their sleep. I got a recommendation for C&C Towers, who do just that. I also have a fiberglass man calling a friend who does top notch stainless welding, where you can't even tell it's been done. The problem is that I call these guys and leave messages and don't get return calls. I've been trying for 2 weeks now and haven't gotten anywhere. That's no way to run a business. I'd like to get it done by mid October because I don't want to sail back to Philly with a shredded bow rail. But it looks like I might have to. Steve |

I'll give them a call on Monday. Thanks. I still have to arrange for a place to install it though. I could do it myself I guess, but the marina is paying for the whole thing so I'd like to get it done professionally. Steve |

I'm in CT and having my boat hauled out. I'm pretty much done for the
season anyway When I talked to the guy in Westbrook he said everyone is in a panic pulling everything out that they can. Anyone else in CT hear anything yet? "Jim -" wrote in message t... WTNT43 KNHC 140839 TCDAT3 HURRICANE ISABEL DISCUSSION NUMBER 33 NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL 5 AM EDT SUN SEP 14 2003 AN AIR FORCE RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT JUST MEASURED 700 MB PEAK WINDS OF 148 AND 143 KNOTS TO THE NORTHEAST AND TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE CENTER...RESPECTIVELY. THIS CORRESPONDS TO 135 KNOTS AT THE SURFACE BUT ASSUMING THAT THE ENTIRE WIND FIELD HAS NOT BEEN SAMPLED...THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS KEPT AT 140 KNOTS IN THIS ADVISORY. THE CENTRAL PRESSURE IS 938 MB. SATELLITE PRESENTATION CONTINUES TO BE SPECTACULAR WITH A DISTINCT EYE AND OUTFLOW IN ALL QUADRANTS. GLOBAL MODELS MAINTAIN ISABEL WITH AN AVERAGE INTENSITY OF 140 KNOTS. THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE REALISTIC SINCE THE SHEAR IS FORECAST TO INCREASE BEYOND 48 HOURS. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST CALLS FOR SOME FLUCTUATIONS IN INTENSITY DURING THE NEXT DAY OR TWO WITH A GRADUAL WEAKENING THEREAFTER. THE HURRICANE HAS BEEN WOBBLING BETWEEN WEST AND WEST-NORTHWEST DURING THE PAST FEW HOURS. HOWEVER...THE BEST ESTIMATE OF THE INITIAL MOTION IS 290 DEGREES AT 11 KNOTS. THIS GENERAL TRACK SHOULD CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS. A GRADUAL TURN TO THE NORTHWEST WITH A DECREASE IN FORWARD SPEED IS ANTICIPATED AS A SHORTWAVE SWINGS OFF THE U.S EAST COAST AND WEAKENS THE STEERING CURRENTS. ONCE THE SHORTWAVE IS GONE IN ABOUT 72 HOURS...THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE IS FORECAST TO REBUILD AND ISABEL SHOULD BEGIN TO INCREASE IN FORWARD SPEED. ON THIS TRACK...DANGEROUS ISABEL WILL BE NEARING THE OUTER BANKS OF NORTH CAROLINA IN ABOUT 4 DAYS. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE GLOBAL MODELS WHICH UNANIMOUSLY BRING THE CORE OF THE HURRICANE TO THE U.S MID-ATLANTIC COAST SOMEWHERE BETWEEN NORTH CAROLINA AND NEW JERSEY BETWEEN 4 OR 5 DAYS. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST IS ALSO VERY CLOSE TO THE GUNS CONSENSUS WHICH HAS HAD A VERY LOW ERROR SO FAR. FORECASTER AVILA "Harry Krause" wrote in message ... Looks to be one heck of a storm. Not anywhere near the U.S. (yet), but the tracking prediction charts are interesting. -- * * * email sent to will *never* get to me. |
