Okay, BI is sounding like a no-go for this weekend. The forecast continues to get worse.

On Saturday they are calling for 7'-8' seas around BI, building to 9'-10' later. On Sunday they are calling for seas around 14 ft...building to 19 ft in the afternoon.

You're right Kev, you wont see my little boat out in that mess... that's all you and Moby pal!

Sounds like it might be a fun weekend inside LIS though... Pat, Frank, Kev and other big boat guys, someone save my Go Pro and I a seat!!!

I was thinking the same Frank...., 19ft seas......this should be some fun running! hahah!

"Why did you take your boat out in a hurricane...."
"Well they told me it was an offshore powerboat, I figured I should use it offshore, then I stuffed it" haha

I'll be out I don't know where, Scott, seat's reserved for ya! Where ever everyone wants to go, I'm in...

I'm in frank....I'm also doing the same thing the following weekend, call me and we can coordinate.

I'll find some women we can dub as strippers for him... ha

Good thinking Jeff....

I love it noyzee. Magoo style baby!

i just bought my company last year so the last thing i wanted to do is spend my profits on a new boat right away because i may need them to keep the doors open, so i decided to put a big cover on and make sure i make it threw the winter before i go spending money.
