Blowing Stink in Galveston

[Skittl1321]

Tropical storms, hurricanes, etc.

Triathlons?

Triathlons?

No - haha! They've closed the marina for small blocks of time when the swim is starting, but no - that does not shut diving down. We (operators) just have to do some logistical planning, but we've never missed a day of diving because of a Triathlon.

The link to the chart I used is in Christi's post #29 on this thread. It's good to read her notes about the chart too.

I've been there in January several times and haven't missed a day. February, yeah. March, yeah. Even April. You never know. I've just been lucky.

Personally, I wouldn't stay away in January if that's what worked for me.

Need picture chart

C'mon! I want pie charts, histograms, Scatter plots, Bar charts... I just don't want to be the one to do it!

And as I said at the time, although they are very rare, I have personally witnessed two closures in May due to nortes. Both were of short duration (hours instead of days), though.

The port is closed now with hardly any wind but rain.

One FB poster just posted that it just opened. Some forecasts are calling for continued rain today & Sunday.

It did open around 11am.

Yes, it opened at 11:00 and so what about rain - that is not the issue.

Port should be open without problems tomorrow - Monday is 50/50 depending on the wind actually does. I am seeing models in disagreement, so we shall see.

so what about rain

I don't like boating in rain, along with weaker light below and reduced viability above. I know that you have a "we're getting wet anyway" attitude, and it's great to be positive, but it can be rough getting pelted by rain on a moving boat. And I get nervous with lightening strikes nearby.

It's all part of the adventure, tho - so shrug and go.

Oh definitely not the most pleasant - I just meant it doesn't close down diving. If we canceled diving every time there was rain, we'd really be in trouble!
