He is top notch AND ACCURATE. He has routed me around bad weather many times. I talked to him on the telephone after a radio session when he was horse from the long hours helping sailors - with no reward other than a thank you.

It is a sad day when he gets maligned like this.

Some day soon he may just hang up his mike forever. That will be horrible for the hundreds of cruisers he helps every year.

Whoever the hell Hank Schmitt is, he should be begging for forgiveness.
