3 seconds? 30 Kts?
I have always hated tiny scuppers. Are shoppers afraid of large scuppers?
Capt. Bill Taylor of Black Dog fame asked me to compare magicseweed.com
to NOAA. I've been using MSW for years now and find them to be far more accurate.
Brian and Jesse wanted to fish the day the Tampa football players got in trouble.
I checked the forecasts. Magic seaweed was the only site that predicted the storm
coming through here around 10:30. I said we can go early and fish the reef if we stay
close to the inlet. We ended up not going and I learned a few things after the news.
I got a drift sock and PLB. I became a safer boater after that sad news.
The ocean is a harsh judge.
