and also this forcast of tropical storm saola, the 26-okt-2017 18z was not very confortable,
Too far away to affect the SEA NYMPH due to her lamentable boat speed.  Please read the situation concerning typhoon Lan which Appel claimed was the (a?) reason for abandonment of the boat:  Typhoon Lan

Tropical Storm Saola is also not pertinent, also too far away from the SEA NYMPH's rescue location to cause wind/sea conditions be above 25-30kn and moderate seas.  The Navy rescue ship which transported Appel/Fativa to Japan was delayed by one or two days due to heavy seas because they transited the storm's track soon after its passage.

Um... I've lost track of the exact story, but with no means of communication, how was Jenn staying on top of the weather forecasts, in order to make these savvy strategic decisions?

Oh, wait... do I care?  n/m

After a few minutes of Jenn's circumlocutious communications, blood starts dribbling out of my ears and nose.

I no longer subject myself to her talking; it furthers my understanding not one iota.

Yeah but you'd still do her amirite?

I just can't see me dealing with that.

At all.

Maybe when I was a youngster, full of spunk, any port in a storm and I was really drunk. I'm just not into gals that look that manly. As much as I admire and respect Tom Whidden, I don't want to do him. That forehead, though! You could pen a PhD thesis on that bit o' real estate!

wiche parte is her amiritte?
Valid question! Hopefully it's nothing from the shoulders up.

shure, both did not affect the boat realy, LAN because she saild south, and SAOLA moved bit north against this forcast and slow down, but we do not know her ( mayby radio?) forcast of these days

one report  abaut 27W was this:
1 a.m. Monday, Oct. 23, Guam time: As-yet-unnamed 27W has been upgraded to a tropical storm by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. It remains forecast to sideswipe Guam before chugging northwest, coming within 275 miles of Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, by the weekend before curving northeast.

can you recognise with this information at night that certainly this storm does not concern your boat the next days? curving north east is not very exact...

by the way, was USS Ashland in this area because they moved also away LAN? where from they came, actually

Hey, the Navy scrubbed her up well!  Here she is in her usual state.

Well entering March and no sign of a spring voyage in a new boat is on the horizon.  Her FaceBook and GoFundMe pages are near dead and the only squakage is she's pissed the VOR, SARSAT and commercial salvage operations didn't telephone her upon discovery of the SEA NYMPH still afloat. She's implied she'll mount a major recovery campaign if only various agencies would cooperate with her.  Good luck making that happen.

She's also still complaining that the rigger, electric radio stuff guy, etc.,   ruined her voyage on the SEA NYMPH.  Good luck on recovering from them.

Appel's fallen of the crease on the InterWebs,  clearly now identified as a psychotic loser.

So I guess the movie is over. All we need is some music and the credits. I will not be making any notes concerning the major players, as I will try and forget about them. Only things worthy of note I guess: The front did not fall off, the keel did not fall off, the mast did not fall off, and it is still in the environment, at least until it goes glug glug.

I guess that the only thing we can expect out of Jen after all this is a total prolapse from bending Q-Tips!
