Anybody Up for a Mobo...Bo...Boatride?

Just did a check around the gulf, and of the 10 buoys that record wave height in the gulf, there is not a single one that registers any seas worth traveling in. The best were along the Texas coast and they still registered 4-5 ft.

But for chits and giggles, check out buoys # 42001 and # 42003

It appears as if # 42040 may be worth checking in a day or two also.

Hope everyone that is in the path of this thing gets the hell outta dodge now while they still can. Miss. and Bama have got some hills, head for them now.

Yeah KJ we looked at the seas and almost made atrip out. almost perfect for the DAT(Dumb and Tough) fishing team. seems like every time we go out it gets rough, and when it is calm we don't catch $hit.

Yea, they started evacuating the rigs over the weekend when it rounded Cuba and headed for the Gulf.
