Looks like something is brewing in the Gulf...could be nasty!!

[VenomJockey]

A tropical depression is forming in the Gulf of Mexico, and it could get real nasty. With water temperatures hovering around 90 degrees, this thing could blow up very quickly to Tropical Storm/Hurricane status. No wind shear, conditions are very ripe for further development.

Them Mexicans better not bring their row boats up to Canada ... we have a sailing ship on both the east and west coasts, plus we have canoes

We did give them back. We replaced them with second hand Coleman Ram-X models
