If he is loaded and at sea, then his chances are fine. They have plenty of room in the Gulf to steam south and advoid it with no problem.
thanks Army. They usually either stay in port, or outrun the storms, but I got the impression this one sneaked up on them. The ship is the length of four football fields and is somewhat slow. Forgot to ask him how many knots she'd do. Do know they once dumped an entire load of Hummers into the sea that were loaded on deck in order to save the ship. don't know what they do with about a jillion barrels of oil.
