Bill,
Good Information. That passageweather site is great.  A few years ago, one had to pay for data like that.  Have you seen a site that gives the Jet Stream pattern/tendency data?  On intellicast what I found was only for Continental U.S., not to West to Hawaii or beyond.  Jet Stream influence weather tremendously.

We can get the NOAA weather charts and forecasts via email.  The 500-mb charts are even more important in steering the surface weather.

Gib,

Thanks for the follow-up today regarding Bill.  I am going with the flow and not putting any pressure on the issue and just letting it happen. 

I have been working 6 days a week to catch up after all the rain and have not made any recent progress with writing.  Although, I do have a good edited section on the intro of Merlin leading up to the SC50s as well as a couple other parts of sections. 

After the delivery I think it would be a good move to have you contact the list of SC50 owners in the TP and make an intro for me.  I would really like to do a meet-n-greet in LB and then again on Oahu.  There might be some good material to compliment CMs TP experience that I intend to write about.
