    To bad NAS north Island can’t say good bye one last time where the Connie called her home for most of her long career. I was once a sailor on the Connie from 1980 to 1983 with one of her squadrons

    I see that the Corbin Foss has slowed to avoid a storm off Mexico.
    Marine traffic.com shows the tug heading in a northerly direction at this time (2:21P PST). Is the ship doing this to avoid the storm or is Marine Traffic have an error?
    Thanks

      Yes, the position is correct. They are heading in a northerly direction to avoid weather associated with Hurricane Marie.
