Not even the PAC NW Ariolimax_columbianus “Banana Slug”
Two banana slugs preparing to mate
One could be a full meal. The say they taste like Chicken Fingers.

Sailing is all about the Weather.
Big into the exploration of Atlantic Hurricanes since Katrina came uninvited into his world, James (Jim) Gurley (JamesG161) has followed every Tropical Storm birthed in Atlantic, Gulf and Caribbean waters since. Being a boater, he knows that we often need more time to prepare than we get from the TV weather folk. Jim relies on the science of storm development to share early warning info with friends and fellow boaters.
Early in 2018, Jim and John Shepard, (JSSailem) started to chat about the weather data available. John asked Jim to help forecast Pacific NW storms, and this morphed into discussions on weather forecasting.For John, sailing in the PNW is sometimes hit and miss. One day is ugly, then a string of beautiful days but no wind, followed by a series of blue-sky days and 12 knot breezes. Being ready for those great sailing days means you need to look to the Pacific Ocean and what is brewing. John has been into Pacific NW Weather since the 1970’s when his first PNW November storm hit bringing more than 40 days and 40 nights of continual rain.
Together we want to share information, new APPs, safety, and thoughts about letting the weather help you. Identify some of the resources for sailors and help prepare you for your next sailboat outing.It is far better to go out on the water knowing what to expect in weather terms, than to be out on the water and see dark ominous clouds suddenly appear, unprepared.

Hmmm Slugs mating in a tropical spin formation.
I didn't know chickens had fingers.
Jim...

Well if we want to define displacement then two S**t loads would be a S**t tonne.
I LIVE in WA and have driven to MT. Through ID. Several times. I still had to think about it for about 30 seconds before I figured out why this wasn’t ringing true.

That’s ok @gdudik. Soon you will learn that sometimes @Will Gilmore doesn’t always strike his bell with a clear tone. But he is a good guy and we give him Grace... We just do not tell his wife.
