Tropical Storm Barry - seas up to 15ft tonight
Was totaly unaware of the approaching tropical storm until just a few minutes ago. Went on the NOAA site and I see after midnight tonight seas along the coast from Bonita north will be running 6 to 8 ft and 20 miles out will be 8 to 12's and up to 15ft. further north.
I hope none of you are affected badly and maybe let us know how things are as the storm passes thru.
Just looking out for you all,
Bob

I have been in 15ft seas once. Only problem was the boat was only 33 ft. ( first offshore in 1990 ) Went to Bimini for lunch. Since it it was only 60 miles out and had plans to be back by mid afternoon made the mistake of not checking the weather. A front came thru and the seas in the Gulf Stream went from 4 ft to 15 ft in no time. Went out there in an hour and coming back took 3.5 hrs.
I learned some valuable lessons that day.
