Waynes SPOT
I am looking at your SPOT and it is clear you at Thunderbolt in
Savanna but the spot shows you up on the pier, in one of the warehouses. out in the parking lot. Were you hauled or is it just drift in the location reported? I notice when you are on the hook it moves around too but I assumed that was just swinging on the rode. |

Apparently they aren't using the latest receiver technology. We're firmly at the dock surrounded by at least $100,000,000 in mega yachts. It's quite a place with a very good reputation. The price quote for fixing the hydraulic stabilizers seemed half way reasonable so we're going to be here a few days supporting the local economy. If they get it fixed it will be worth it. The last time the stabilizers were serviced was at Gulf Marine Ways on FMB. They totally ripped me off and didn't really get it right. I saw some pretty big boats parked there on the aerial. Are you watching that weather east of you? Van Winkle on NBC-2 says it may be nasty in the Carolinas this weekend. You might just want to stay there until this shakes out a little, at least until they figure out what is happening. That looks like a fairly well protected spot. === I'm seeing that tropical low on my GFS forecast model. It's very early in the season for that sort of thing and I doubt it will amount to much. Nevertheless it bears watching. My real concern is that it will stall out and turn into a 10 day rain event. We got caught up in one of those 2 years ago heading south in October. |

That is my guess too but it is not the best thing for being on the boat. At least in Savanna you can hop in a cab and go to a nice hotel. Maybe get some of that BBQ ;-) I imagine 40' starts to seem pretty small if you can't go outside for a few days. |

You might be running right into this mess. NOAA still has it coming in Saturday and still off of the outer banks on Wednesday. |

It looks, on my weather page, like that mess has developed in the last eight hours. The last 'spot' I have for Wayne is about 12 hours ago. Reckon he shuts the tracker off? Or am I just reading something wrong? http://share.findmespot.com/shared/f...fKADAn2Dkz os -- Ban Krausescheiße-spouting narcissists...not guns! |

Looks like he's going to pay a visit to the Marines. |
