Reporting news is our business. What we ask, and what is protected in our copyright, is that the news be read on our own site. We don't have message boards and never will, so all the discussion comes back here and to the various other sites that carry our news.

Please don't take this the wrong way. I am not trying to come down hard on you. It simply means that news is our business. We don't charge readers ... we only ask that they visit our site, which opens in a separate window so you can read and get right back to the discussion on offshoreonly.com, to read it.

Thank you.

I think what Scott Begovich was referring to was the rain that came in today—at least that's what I saw from a quick review of the weather in the area where they ran the boat.

Rain definitely stings in an open cockpit boat at anything above 30 mph, but I don't think that's what kept them from going back out. As Begovich said in the story, they are taking "baby steps" with this one because it's so unusual. A distraction like rain, even light rain, is still a distraction. Better to wait and run another day (although unfortunately there is rain in the forecast tomorrow).

That said, on pure rough-water ability, like you I'm pretty confident that a 47' Apache could crush anything Lake Worth Lagoon threw its way without so much as a wiggle.
