Scheduled to dive the Oriskany on Sat...

Any thoughts on chances we'll get blown out?

Actually, as it stands right now...Saturday looks to be a pretty good day. Things sometimes change quickly but right now the marine report is calm seas with only 1 foot swells. So, right now chances look pretty good that you will get to dive. Not sure what viz. will be though.

Good Luck!

Any thoughts on chances we'll get blown out?

I would say that you should have no problems. Unless Gustov causes NOAA and the weather channel to change their predictions. Here is the local weather and sea forecast:



Saturday, Aug 30

High: 90 °F RealFeel®: 99 °F
Partly sunny







SATURDAY
NORTH WINDS 5 TO 10 KNOTS BECOMING SOUTHEAST 10 KNOTS IN
THE AFTERNOON. SEAS 1 FOOT OR LESS. BAYS AND COASTAL WATERWAYS
SMOOTH. ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

[SIZE=+1]SATURDAY NIGHT[/SIZE]
SOUTHEAST WINDS 10 KNOTS BECOMING EAST 10 TO 15
KNOTS AFTER MIDNIGHT. SEAS 2 FEET. BAYS AND COASTAL WATERWAYS A
LIGHT CHOP.

Even though the weather looks ok, you might consider the residents of the Panhandle may have some other concerns and priorities Saturday besides diving... If they are expecting a Tuesday event things like shutters, sandbags, securing boats, etc... may be a priority.

I would call before making the drive.

Let's hope Gustav just dies and disappears.

Saturday's trips are still a GO!

Visibility has been running 60-80' on Oriskany this week.

Well......???????
Did it go?

Saturday's trips likely ran as things didn't get ugly until about midnight Sunday morning. It's plain ugly there at the moment with 20+ foot seas :shocked2:
