52' waves!!!!!
Was watching the Weather Channel and heard a report of 52' waves due to Ivan
south of Mobile AL! Even Hairy's fictional Lobsta boat would have a few troubles with that.... -- "Only the dead have seen the end of war" Plato |
Can not be so. Jaxass says the water is not deep enough for hundreds of
miles off the Panhandle to support more than a 5-8' or there abouts wave. Is a conspiracy between NOAA and the military to prevent embarassment because of a wrong prediction.

I was once in 50 foot seas coming in from Turneffe Atoll to the mainland of
Belize in a 40' sportfisher. We ran down these 'tunnels' and then turned and drove up and over them. One of the times I thought it might be over soon? -- Bill Kiene Kiene's Fly Shop Sacramento, CA, USA Web site: www.kiene.com "bomar" wrote in message ...

Waves of that size might be a perfect setting for boat transmissions.. down **** climbing the wave, up shift going down ;) Here is a link to the closest buoy: http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=42040 52.5 feet was the waves reported at 6:50 PM .... for some reason the buoy didn't report wave height for the prior 3 hours.... That buoy was only 8 nm from the eye. Notice the air pressure dropped to 28.21 " !!!!

One of the times I thought it might be over soon? Sorry but I have to call BS on this one. :-) If you had true 50 footers I don't see how you could get in through the cuts in the barrier reef. Capt.

Once someone posted the linked to that buoy, I watched it for quite awhile
when Ivan was approaching. It was neat watching the wave heights and barometer over the course of the storm. Definitely an interesting site. -- G.D.Smith Harpers Ferry, WV FOR SALE: 2003 Swee****er 22' Pontoon Boat http://icanhelp56.homestead.com/gs_pontoon01.html -- "bomar" wrote in message ...
