Wifey B: I can't believe what absolutely positively magnificent wonderful sea conditions we've had up and down the east coast the last several weeks. We haven't seen more than 2' in freaking ages. Not going to Bahamas, cruising around home and not in New England. It was late June last time was bad because a nice charter dude on here was wondering if he'd be able to go out that weekend. Prophetic words from him were, "this time of year the bad weather only lasts a few days."
We spent the day in the office, not even taking advantage of it....And our office didn't have your view.
What a cool picture of Coal Harbour.Home office
Yes, the weather has been so good so long for us I hate to even comment on it. It was a lovely run from Annapolis to Solomans today.
What a cool picture of Coal Harbour.
When (time of year) was that taken?
Depending on the answer, I may have another ? or 2.
That's really nice.
How long have you been a barge/tug captain? (What's the correct term?)
Seems like a cool job.
Have you moved your office back south where it's safely out of Joaquin's path? Home in Fort Lauderdale would be out of it's path. We just left NC for SC tucked away in the ICW so should be south of any major hit, just lots of rain. In fact, we have a side trip to Charlotte, NC and flooding expected that far inland. We actually are doing something we've never before done in taking the ICW from Southport to Myrtle Beach. We always go outside.
I'll amend that last, seas are now running up to 4' but still on our stern. And still a nice ride.
If the build to much well just head inshore where they are smaller. Trying to save some time by running point to point and not hugging the coast line at this time.
He has a fast boat that's elusive. So maybe a stealth vessel.

Just kidding.
Seriously though, I've asked before and it seems that that information is classified.
