Buoy 44014 Data

For some reason I really enjoy watching off shore buoy data, especially wave height. I guess it reminds me of no matter how sucky it is here, out there, in a little bobber of boat, it would really SUCK!

The National Buoy Data Center is a cool site to take a look at while you still have power!

Party Time!

A big BLOW

(to the christmas carol)

Theeee first Noel...

Yes we are getting a little bit of a blow this evening...

Andrea & Barry

Well, we are 2 for 2 here in hampton roads with respect to storms impacting the region.. First there was Andrea which formed as a low pressure system from canada, spun out into the warm waters of the gulfstream, of course after dumping some wind and rain on the tidewater. Then became the first "sub" tropical storm of the year. Second came Barry which gave us another blow and some rain as well.. Cool, I can handle the little ones.. the big ones make me a tad bit nervous

A direct hit by Ernesto!

However we did need the rain, not necessarily all in the same block of time!!!
