I really frown on gatherings of any kind. But, it's part of the process. This one is 194' long and expected to average 41+ MPH. For those not familiar, that's extremely fast for a vessel this size. That comes at a price though, expected to consume over 600 gallons of fuel per hour.

Ain't the internet great?

Huey,
I found this on the Google search. If it's a problem, just have Gary delete it.

The most interesting thing in the article wasn't the resupply, it's the rescue use.
