how deep is the water?
Subject: 36 foot waves forecasted for Florida western panhandle From: "Calif Bill" Date: 9/15/2004 3:27 PM Eastern Daylight Time Message-id: et "JAXAshby" wrote in message ... yes, of course. 260 nm south of Panama city is right smack dab centered in the panhandle. but wait a minute! I thought "close" only counted in horseshoes and H-bombs. 36.1 feet at 7:50PM, looks like wave height is peaking out at the weather buoy(260 nm South of Panama City). OK how about 64 miles. http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=42040 This is 64 nm South of Dauphin Island, AL Which is less than a 100 miles. |
You are so full of ****, that you must sneeze brown stuff. How can
Mavericks get 60'+ swells when the reef is only 45' deep average? "JAXAshby" wrote in message ... bill, go away. you have more b/s stories than hoary.

From: "Calif Bill" Dang, tell the Quicksilver people that Mavericks can never get 60' swells. The reef is only 45' deep. At this point, once again, the Emperor has been shown not to have any clothing. And it's not a pretty sight. Capt. Bill |

It is? The buoy ~60 miles south of Dauphin Island reported a 52' wave a few hours before Ivan got here. That was just before it went offline for a while :) It had been reporting ~40 footers for a couple of hours prior. WE took 10-12' breakers ON THE BAY. That was due to the barrier island breaching, which meant we took GULF seas - after they came through the breach - and they were still 10-12s when they got to me. Destin's Holiday Isle (directly on the gulf) is believed to have taken 20+' seas. Its trashed, the base elevation is 6-8', the homes are on stilts (the garage is typically "blow out" designed and sacrificial) and from reports (people have not been let back on yet) many if not most of the homes flooded ANYWAY. Destin, by the way, is close to 80 miles east of where Ivan came in. Perdido and Dauphin Island took it in the face and huge parts of both are basically gone. I have the only standing dock on the north side of the bay west of the Mid Bay Bridge - I lost a grand total of ONE covering board. That's the difference between proper engineering and slipshod crap throw-it-together work. -- -- Karl Denninger ) Internet Consultant & Kids Rights Activist http://www.denninger.net My home on the net - links to everything I do! http://scubaforum.org Your UNCENSORED place to talk about DIVING! http://www.spamcuda.net SPAM FREE mailboxes - FREE FOR A LIMITED TIME! http://genesis3.blogspot.com Musings Of A Sentient Mind In article , Wayne B wrote: Go argue with the navy, it's their forecast.

It will not be nice in Niceville. This might be a good time for a fishing trip to Texas or up the Mississippi River. Meanwhile we are all breathing a big sigh of relief down here in SWFL. |

Who would have bet that the navy would know more than him? Last time I looked the navy was still using chain rode as well. Oh! God! NOOOOO! Hasn't it torn the cleats off their decks?????? The Navy must have high-G-force-disabling technology incorporated into its deck cleats. |
