"A 42-foot sailboat with three people aboard is taking on water in Hurricane Julio and asking for Coast Guard help. The Coast Guard on Sunday said the vessel Walkabout is disabled in 30-foot seas with 92-115 mph winds about 414 miles northeast of Oahu. The Coast Guard said a 661-foot container ship Manukai has been diverted and is en route to help the sailboat."
One of the "The Great Pacific Race" rowboats was also nicked by Julio yesterday but appears to be fine.
something needs to cool the overheated Earth
The hurricanes are lining up from here to Baja. The search continues for a passing lane as we sit on Kauai provisioned for a return.
