I was a boat captain in the Gulf of Mexico oil field and I would've killed for something like that on my vessel... LOL. At 200 feet long and 500 tons loaded, it would've had to be a bit bigger I suppose. But, it would've been appreciated. I weathered a direct hit from Tropical Storm Bill (or maybe it was Lily) offshore. I wonder how a system like that would've handled it? I don't think it could've possibly made it worse.
