Decided to start a seperate thread for this instead of the other so as not to cloud the issues at hand.
Those of you that have bluewater sailing and boating experience, please help me to understand how you get caught in a hurricane. It seems to me with all the radar, loran, gps, radio and communications gear, it would be almost impossible for this to happen. You get days of advance notice where it is, where it is headed, how fast it is moving.
Not living near any hurricane activity, or bluewater, and only seeing it on the "tube", it escapes me how this could happen. But I do live in the heart of "Tornado Alley" and even we have the benefits ot TV and radio and few lives are lost.
Thanks in advance
