How about a weather report?  See You All in the Morning.

It was great in the morning until the fan turned on around 12:30.

Hey y'all, I'm in 104. Just arrived. Did anybody bring extra firewood I could buy off ya?

Ruben

I;m leaving SSF in 30-50 minutes, I'll have some.

Wind wind wind and more wind.

 I think my pop up camper might go to pieces tonight. I hope not

End of weather report

Thanks Man, I'm good now. Scott hooked me up.

Be careful out there, you have some challenging conditions to deal with. Keep that knife handy and keep those lines away from you. Good luck!

From what I saw, and I was not on the water, the conditions were stupid. Remember folks, it's only a crab.

Sunday: NW wind 12 to 17 kt increasing to 18 to 23 kt in the afternoon. Mostly sunny. WNW swell 7 to 8 ft at 15 seconds. Wind waves 2 ft building to 7 ft.

For the first time in my life I saw the coastguard kick people off the water yesterday.

Today is going much better. People are staying close and getting Crab. The wind is still bad.

Who's yellow Hobie got towed in by the CG yesterday? And are they OK? I saw it as i was leaving.

I believe so; he got tired paddling against the wind and ebb from the jetty. Dan and another tried to tow him in, but the drag of his kayak was too much for them to make it all the way in...

Yea he was fine. He lost his paddle and was not making any headway in the wind with his Mirage Drive. We towed him for a long time, but we were not making much ground. I could tell he was getting shook up so I called the Coasties. First time in my life that I have ever had to call the Coast Guard. Thankfully they were close and it was not an issue.

Hey Dan,

One of the other guys who had a white kayak, found a paddle in the water that day; did he ever get it back?

Glen I will have to see what color it was. Someone turned in a paddle and I put it the headwaters van at the end of the day.
