Does anyone have any info regarding the bouys and when they are expected to be up and running again? Are we looking at months, weeks, years? So annoying to not be able to check bouy 44025. I'm no longer able to do the ol' 530 in the morning wake up call to check the bouy.

If every forecast page went away, it would't bother me one bit. I'd probably welcome it. But this damn buoy being out is brutal. Someone earlier made the point about it being such a busy shipping lane, you'd think they'd be on it ASAP. It's kind of mind boggling.
Hey motion, did you pull that up off the NOAA site? I was looking for exactly what you've posted but couldn't seem to find it.
Now they've moved this maintenance back to DECEMBER. This is completely frustrating. I actually feel like trying to call and complain or writing a letter or something. Driving me nuts.
