    That's the line that came across us at Charleston. Does the wind pushing that rig around bad when it gets that hi?

    It sure can if your not paying attention. Wind like that can push us sideways at several mph. When the wind alarm went off It hit us on the port side, I had to come full ahead on the starboard engine to keep it from pushing the bow over. It's really bad when we have empty barges, no weight and 10' of flat steel above the waterline. Thankfully we are loaded with 12,000 tonnes of mixed xylene.
