NOAA has shut their site down
SEE, we can still survive without Washington. Heck, we may even find we like it better!
Oh, by the way, looking like we have a storm to contend with this weekend.

One other note.
On the NOAA weather site, this notice is posted:
Due to the Federal Government shutdown, NOAA.gov and most associated web sites are unavailable. However, because the information this site provides is necessary to protect life and property, it will be updated and maintained during the Federal Government shutdown.
But the marine forecast is shut down. I guess we old fishermen's lives are no longer important to them.

The refuge is closed as well. Can't launch at the lighthouse.

How do you know the refuge is closed ? The gate used to be on a timer, don't know if it still is.

It isn't shut down as far as I can tell. In any case, marine forecast for our area is pretty choppy until maybe the first of next week. I'm not going until it is fairly calm. When the regular snapper season was about to close in the summer I went during a 5-10k east wind forecast, and it was rough as a cobb and we got caught in a violent storm with a waterspout chasing us back to the hill. Two lousy red snapper is not worth a beating and maybe worse.
Careful out there,

Yep, they turned it back on. This morning, it would go to a site
