Called ASK-MINI today and I am now Status 193. Checked the WWW (Wallenius Wilhelmsen Website) and show as Booked on the HUAL TRITON voyage EA242-HTN. There are supposedly 146 MINIs planning on taking the cruise - who else is with me?

I'm on the Triton (named for the son of Poseidon, it says here.) I'm the British Retching Green guy over by the rail, trying to keep my lunch where I put it.

Whahoooo ! That's what I call a LOW! Wave height currently 35 to 40 feet.

NEMINI · Oct 21st, 2002, 04:17 AM

Thanx for the piccy of the Triton eBrit it's one more thing to widdle away some of this waiting.

NEMINI · Oct 21st, 2002, 06:24 PM

Anyone know Hual Triton's call sign?

scottwkurth · Oct 21st, 2002, 09:55 PM

Haul Triton's call sign is C6QA4, but I haven't heard anything from her yet.

scottwkurth · Oct 21st, 2002, 10:03 PM

It looks like 346 MINIs made the boat this time. Enjoy the cruise, boys...

Cool map, scary isobars, e. Is the weather getting better or worse? Is that meteorology available online?

Yup...on-line! Try Ocean Weather
Then pick "North Atlantic". You can look at Observations, Wave Height, or Sea Temperature. If you click on "Java Loop" in top right corner you get a three frame animation of the last 12 hours' metrics.

..It does take a few minutes to load.

"Is the storm worse or better?"...depends where you are in it

Best estimate is that Triton is currently in "the eye" of the storm.

Thanks for the cool link, eBrit. I've never seen a 40-foot wave, but it's good to know I'll be driving a car that knows what they look like in case we ever run into one out here in Ohio.

Crawdad

NEMINI · Oct 22nd, 2002, 09:26 PM

anyone been able to track this boat? I've not seen its supposed callsign show up at anytime yet.

scottwkurth · Oct 22nd, 2002, 10:17 PM

I, too, have been dutifully watching for the Hual Triton, but, alas, there has been no sign of her.

I grabbed these images from the Empire State Building Webcam (http://www.esbnyc.com/). Could it be the Hual Triton? Looks about right from the image posted above, but it is fairly hazy today in NYC...
