Station 42003 - E GULF 260 nm South of Panama City, FL

32.5ft seas !!!!! :( :( I was caught in a fishing boat during a storm 4 years ago and the waves were only in the 20 foot range and it was no fun at all. I was only 14 at the time and remember the whole thing. Lets all say a prayer for anyone that is caught out in the GOM right now for there safe return.
