Re: bonnie charley and beyond

Heading out right about now. My group is looking at St. George Island - recent developments have us considering east. The NHC and NWS/Tallahassee said, in a 4pm conference call this afternoon, that if they are off on the track, it will be to the east. Thinking Panama City will be as far west as anyone wants to look, and we're going to start near St. George to be in a good place to go east or west...or north.

If we get there in time, we are going to try to meet with TWC on the island, before 11pm. That depends on whether or not we can get on to the island or not. You never know...

Should be an interesting trip, that's for sure. Still thinking low end cat 1 - looks like my forecast of 75kt from Monday may be a bit on the high sid, but not too far off. Will be carefully watching it overnight from the coast to see what happens.

Happy chasing, all.
