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.

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?

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.

Don't forget hand grenades.

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.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaay to shallow to support 36 foots for hundreds of miles away from the Fla
panhandle.

See the 72 hour forecast chart (Wednesday).

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.

Did you watch the national news on NBC last night?

They showed a whole marina, docks, boats and everything, floating down
a river somewhere (I can't remember which) as a result of the rain.
The boats were still tied off. ;)

Take care.

How did your boat do?

It's shocking that Jax could have been wrong about this. 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.

I use an anchor rode instead.
