These are the weather bouys. 42001 is right in the path and about 50
miles away (when I typed this note)
watch "Combined plot of Wind Speed, Gust, and Air Pressure" and see
the storm build. I bet it goes down in the few hours.

I watched Kartina come ashore on the east gulf bouys and saw them
start dropping offline.

Cool! At 1550 GMT, waves at 42001 were 32.5 feet, barometer falling
rapidly.


What is so cool about that?


With all due respect, seeing as to how I'm butting in, watching the weather
and being in awe of the true superhuman power of weather phenomon is normal
and healthy and in no way implies a lack of concern for the human factor.

Doug,
If Harry was there with his Lobster Boat, you would have been able to move
that boat around easier.

Don, aren't you paying attention? Huge waves near Alexandria Bay at this
time of year. Very dangerous. I had to interrupt fishing to tow this
vessel:

http://www.wellandcanal.ca/salties/p...irma/irma2.htm

It was being blown out of the main channel into some rocks. Lost at least
1/2 hour of fishing because of it.

I think I did just fine with my yacht, although the experience made me
question my choice of the 15hp motor instead of the 25hp. And, the lines
they tossed me didn't fit my cleats.

Doug,
I guess when you know what you are doing, you don't need any help.

You twit, it IS cool, cool as hell! I find it very interesting,
watching the wave height grow, the barometric pressure fall, etc. Are
you really so ****ing uptight that and unconcerned about science that
you don't find this stuff fascinating, hence "cool"?

Doug, quit it, JimH, and JohnH can't possibly figure out how someone
could ever, ever post a picture of a boat that they don't own.

Because some people are inquistive, and like to learn, and watch
weather phenomena. Do you NOT find it interesting, or are you just
trying to ruin yet another perfectly good thread.

Yes it is interesting. No it is not cool that the storm is
intensifying.

Where did I say that it was cool that the storm was intensifying,
dip****?


sigh Chatting with you is like talking to a brick wall.


Or a tree stump ;-)



Aren't you gonna say "liebrals", you silly little ****?

I KNEW old Fritz would be here soon to stick his nose up JimH's ass!!!!
Every single time!!!

Why does it take you 2 or 3 tries to answer a simple question? I have now
seen 3 different answers from you on this. Make up your mind already.

I may find a storm interesting. I do not find a category 5 hurricane as
cool though.

BTW: Do you find that using extremely foul language and attacking the other
person in your reply somehow makes it more credible? Do you think that
folks here have more respect for you by using that language in your replies?

Sure I do. I saw Krause do it 2 times in this very NG. ;-)

So are you referring to this statement that was made here the other day?

===========================
Oh, yeah, if you notice, he didn't use that tripe when he didn't have a
boat. One can only wonder if he really does now. Seems like he was awfully
interested in letting everyone know that he was looking at one, posting
pictures, asking questions, etc. Usually those are the ones who really don't
have one!
============================

Yep, someone actually inferred that those asking questions here about their
boat and posting pictures here of it usually means they do not own
one.

I wonder who said that Kevin? Don't you think it was a pretty silly
statement to make?
