Finally got unlatched early this morning. We're now drifting SE toward storm trying to pull 6,000 ft of riser before it gets to rough and we have to stop. We'll have to hang it off and get up to a blistering 1/2 knot per hour trying to get out of the way, don't look we're going to make it totally. Looks like we'll have to ride this bad boy out. Times like this is when you eat very little and lay low and keep the PFD close by. Looks like the next couple days are going to be tough.

Hope yall can stay safe out there.

Here a pretty good link to what I call one stop shopping for tropical weather.

Welcome to BearPaws Weather™ - Tropical Weather Page

Cool link Rooleyt, thanks

Got a new bottle of gas for the fish cooker, gas for the generator and cranked it up and let it run for a while. Still need to fill up the car and truck, will do tomorrow. Got water and food so guess I'm ready.

All you guys & gals stay safe down there.

Thanks. Been through this fire drill too many times.

7PM report shows the path coming straight up 55 from Jackson. Pressure has fallen a little bit and the wind speed increased, also slowed its progress a little bit, nonw of these are good.

I just set up my camper at Enid today for this coming weekend maybe that was a mistake.
