Colin has been pretty fortunate with all of his underway trips not to run into any bad weather at all.  A little fog maybe, but pretty much flat, calm seas... I know, Lucky Duck!  However, I got an email from him this weekend, apparently this is no longer the case... all he said was visibility down to 500 meters and I quote "I'm going down with the ship, Posiedon will take me home."  He says there was some rocking & rolling going on.  I don't want to say he has a flair for the dramatic however... strange kid!

Hope everyone else is having nice weather, apparently the Seneca was having a rough go a few days ago!  There is Tropical Storm Colin out in the Atlantic... Colin versus Colin???  (I don't know if they were anywhere near that storm, I just think it's funny.)

Colin vs Colin...lol I like it!

haha.....

colin vs colin. britt has to work tonight and will have the weather updates. buzz her, i am sure she can let you know about tropical storm colin and what the seas are like.

I love having a semi-connection! Not a complete connection because I would never dream of asking her about the ship, even though I have a feeling she knows. LOL

she definately knows.....but won't tell!! :-)

she is fabulous with weather updates though.....
weather doesn't violate opsec!! lol

this is the website we use for all of our weather updates. its broken down into areas if you need help with it let me know. the weather is updated every six hours and this is the stuff all the ships recieve and use. and macie im at work right now and i can tell you the seneca is just fine

I figured the seas didn't reclaim Seneca to the depths... someone in a black car would have shown up at my doorstep by now. I said something to Colin once about not knowing if he was ok or not and worrying about him... he said if my checking account suddenly has an extra 400,000 in it, assume it isn't good for him. I busted up laughing when he said that, as morbid as the thought is, it was pretty silly!

What an awesome way for him to look at that..way funny!

The few times when the idea of the ship I was on sinking crossed my mind, I had but one thought. "Captain, it's a lovely ship. I think you should go down with it." As I sailed away on a life raft.

I do like to travel in style.

Good luck getting them all started......take LOTS of gas!

Now that is one impressive boat!!!

Colin was sailing around the Cape area when they were having the most shark sightings, they had just left port. He said to one of the OS's if you hear "Pon pon pon pon, this is the Orca, we need a bigger boat..." The OS didn't get it! Colin just laughed and walked away! Jaws is absolutely my all time favorite movie.

Thats some horse power there...
