OK, boats full, the ticket office is closed.
Weather forecast is waves 2-4, that's a little bumpy but since it's an east wind we'll see how it goes, and stick a little closer to shore if need be. Everything should be just fine.

I don't know about Frogman_5's crew, but with me you didn't miss anything. I got out 10 miles and the seas went from 2-3 to 4-6 way too fast. Went to make a u-turn and cavatated the prop, then had to fight 6 foot white caps most of the way back in. I was taking heavy spray over the bow on a pretty constant basis. My eyes are still swollen from the salt water. Had two people with small injuries from being thrown around so much. Very scarry. I'll put it to you this way. I was giving everybody directions on how to don lifevests, use the handheld VHF, and load/fire the flare gun.
I'm very interested in hearing how Frogman_5 made out today. His boat is a few feet bigger than mine, and a few miles south of me.
