I saw beginning people people posting for example to "land lubber" or "captain" and not to persons real screen name. I thought it was confusing and redundant since everyones post count is shown. On the bright side....anyone notice the search feature works a helluva lot better? 1993 23' Walkaround Whaler Drive

We starting shutdown procedures at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, but the entire Texas Gulf Coast is at risk at the moment. Its what happens when you are bigger then anything else on the Gulf (almost). Best of luck riding this out and be safe! Duf

Having gone through Hugo with a direct hit we are well aware of the anxiety that comes before and after the storm. Looking forward to the season to by pass us again this year.

Member Personal Page Photo Albums Project Albums Posts: 2681 Comments: 7 Joined: 04/27/07	I was just getting ready to be promoted to Captain!! That's a big deal to us ex-Navy guys! Duf, good luck with the storm, looks like she's bearing right down on you. Though the storm is on track to head northeastward towards Dallas after it makes landfall, it'll be nothing more than a rain event for us. Take care and stock up on your beer!
