its 0700 here and humid as it can be. The doubles from last night are at 0800 today because of the storm.

 

We lived on and cruised on a trawler for 6 years. Our first trip was 7700 miles, we were coming down the Mississippi almost alongside to where Sparta is, the temp on the fly bridge was over 110, kept the a/c running in the salon, had to swap spaces every 15 minutes with my wife- it was un bearable, tied up to a grain barge for the night-kept the generators running all the time-- that area can be really hot, just like Fl in the summer--if your older it could be downright deadly
