Jobs, if I could I would. Smoked up 16 lbs of Brisket, had about 12 people over for supper, Wife immediately packed up the leftovers and sent them home with the Boys. I took boiled eggs and left over salad for lunch today. What a bunch of crap. LOL............

Morning Pops. Morning guys and good morning to anybody else who is fortunate enough to find this thread.


Jobs, how are things going? You about got it under control?

Have a great day everybody!
 
Morning, Pops. Morning, everyone. I'm loving this October weather; brisk in the morning and short sleeves the rest of the day. Have a great day, everyone.
 
Morning Pops. Morning Fellas and good morning to every good person who visits this thread today.

I love the Fall too Leon. Brisk days, cooler temps, reminds me of a time when I could actually play Football instead of just watch it. This watching stuff is brutal! LOL.....

Ok in the HI home. Decided to move out of the SC home. Still working on that. Rather take a beating. Not taking much so the move won't be bad but purging things is a pain. Thx for asking.
 
Morning Pops and all. Still in the 70s here occasionally hotter. Humidity 96 right now with winds and threatening rain. Yuck. Hope you all are doing well. Wish we had the fall foliage like some here do. TC all.
 
Morning Weldon. How are things up there? Morning all you Cowboys' fanatics. Hope all have a great day.
 
Morning Pops. Morning Fellas and good morning to all who drop in to say hello. I'm hoping everybody is well today.

Jobs, good news on the SC stuff. Just remember to take the time to enjoy yourself a little. don't have to be all packing. As I recall, SC has some pretty good Sour BBQ and you can't beat a good ole South Carolina Shrimp Boil.

Be good to yourself Jobs. ;-)

The country boil is good but I prefer the shrimp and grits made with stone grits and cream. Best BBQ around here is a no name place and Piggys Park mustard based. Love the hash. I'll give a recipe some day and history of hash which I find fascinating.

I'm ready to get outta here. So packing is a priority. I can have much more fun in HI. Found a partner for a boat who has a personal slip which is very hard to find here. So we're going to buy a sportsfisher. Already worked out the SCUBA club and I'm going to get my masters or dive instructor along with some specialty training. And there's a sportsfishing club here as well.

Thanks so much for the well wishes my friend.

Yep, I love the mustard based sour BBQ in South Carolina and Grits and Cream are also pretty good. Shrimp anything I can get behind.

If your intentions are to learn to dive, you are definitely in the right place to do it. Enjoy every minute of it Jobs.

I've been a diver since 78 but I haven't been too active lately. I'll be going from advanced open to instructor...assuming I can do it. Don't know about the currents there and they do have tiger and white sharks. It's the tigers that cause most of the problems.

I assume you mean Hawaiian currents, three major currents that I can recall. NEC, HLCC and NHRC. There are local currents and certainly can be nasty and sink holes etc but nothing you can't handle with your experience. I did not know that you were as accomplished a Diver as you are. You never cease to amaze me Jobs. Gonna be hard to keep up with you my friend. Well done.

LOL. You're always so kind. I'm not that good. Just been around. I'll have to look up those currents. Are they around the Big Island? Just to prove I'm not that good I dove in currents once in murky water; visibility 5-15. Couldn't find the line back to the boat. Came up two hundred yards behind the boat and couldn't get back. They had to come and get me.
 
Morning Pops, Morning Fellas and good morning to all who come to wish Weldon a Happy Friday. I hope everybody has a great day!

Hey Jobs, here is an overview of the three currents, NEC (North Equatorial Current), NHRC (North Hawaiian Ridge Current and the HLCC (Hawaiian Lee Counter Current) are pretty much related. Here is a general overview of location and how they interact. There is a lot more info on this, NOAA has a bunch of stuff you can check out but here is a general on each.

South of Hawai'i, the surface North Equatorial Current (NEC) reaches an average westward speed of 17 cm/s (0.35 knot) at 13 N, and gradually decreases towards the islands. Between 18 N and 22 N, the currents are strongly influenced by the islands. The NEC forks at Hawai'i island; the northern branch becomes the North Hawaiian Ridge Current (NHRC), and intensifies near the islands with a typical width of 100 km (54 NM) and speed of 25 cm/s (0.5 knot). West of the islands, two elongated circulations appear. A clockwise circulation is centered at 19 N, merging to the south with the southern branch of the NEC. A counter-clockwise circulation is centered at 20 30'N. Between them is the narrow Hawaiian Lee Counter Current (HLCC), extending in longitude from 170 W to 158 W. Surface currents over the western islands and north east of the NHRC are variable and their average is smaller than can be estimated from existing data.

Thanks ABQ. I'll have to research more. I wanted to sail but slips for sailboats are virtually nonexistent on the leeward side of Hawaii. I did find out the sailing is difficult there with hard times sailing north. Southerly is great with winds abeam on the windward side esp. Lots of tacking and many just motor and sail. I don't understand why you can't point NNW but apparently not easy. I'm betting the current adds to the difficulty. i wonder how much current you get on the leeward side and how it affects diving.
