New Bouys at Central Caribbean Sea and Bay of Campeche

It's located Southeast of Jamaica in a ideal area to monitor those systems that may form in that area or move from the Eastern Caribbean.

This new bouy in the BOC area will be very helpful when homegrown systems form in that area.

They're aligned almost like the track Emily last year had! It's always good to monitor the BOC but still we need more around this area and in the Caribbean.

those will most definitely be helpful. The closest one to the BOC bouy is at around 25ºN.

A WHOLE LOT MORE THAN ONE WOULD IMAGINE.!!!! I saw something on it last year, when several were knocked out. It was here at S2K but I have no idea what thread it was in. I think it is in the millions.
