Your radar will "black-out" in a thunderstorm. Radar will pick up a thunderstorm in open water and unless you take the time to stop, and adjust for rain drops, it is usless.

From coast guard report they struck a submerged abandoned well head.
To many of those hazards out there. Someone - the well owner- should have to totally remove or destroy these hazards. It redicilous that after storms destroyed wells & platforms are just abandoned. There needs to b regulations that require proper removal / destruction on these.
Hope Josh & crew are ok & back out on the water soon. Josh is a great guy, hell of a Capt, / guide!!
Prayers sent!
