Stillwater South, Saturday May 28, 2011

This winds are N and WNW so Im thinking if you stay in the cove it will be ok and calm. Its when you go past the protection of the lone cypress that I think the wind gets bad.

I loaded up the yak so I guess I'm going. See y'all down there...

Wish I can go cause I heard from a good source that stripers and salmon are on the prowl right now chasing sardines by the wharf.  So you guys might want to check that out in the morning before you launch at SWS.

Was trying to get out to this, but the forecast does not look to promising:
