Running northeast might have been a dumbass idea.
Anyone else noticing the fact that Ike hasnt turned west yet?
I have, considering rain band #1 is about 4 miles away, seas are in the neighborhood of 14-17ft with a random 20+ thrown in for fun. Big fatass swell out of the southeast.
oh yeah, we are down one thruster. that means we only got 5. we are making a whopping 4 and a half kts. and 1 of our other thrusters is running a bit warm.
for those keeping score at home, current position 27.35.0N 089.51.7W.
Now booking for May Striper fishing on the Roanoke River North Carolina 910-540-2464

keep on that NE or even more north track and then you will need to head east as the swell will be on your beam I think, I assume you steaming 45 to 60 degrees.
Alex you and the boat crew are in our prayers also. I know that you have all the latest and greatest gear on board but if you need any Intel from our end...ASK and we'll do everything to get it for ya...
I'm tracking you on Flash earth from here...
Just saw the latest update and they are still calling for it to turn West. But I got to tell you, it definitely looks like it is moving more NNW than WNW to me.
