Windy Ride!

[ishoot308]

We came back out to the island after work late this afternoon. We left the Glendale docks around 6:00 P.M. We hit 4'+ waves as soon as we rounded the corner near Belknap point. All the way out to Welch the waves were the worse I have seen other than during last years hurricane. We made it to the island safely and without incident in my Manitou tritoon. I would not have attempted it in my Eastern 22'.

It's 9:30 P.M. now and the winds have only got worse with speeds averaging 20 MPH and gusting to 30 mph on my weather station. I don't think I will be trolling for salmon in the morning!!

To those who decided not to come out for the weekend, I don't think you will be missing much!

Hope everyone has a great weekend wherever you end up!

Good you made it over OK, docking must have been interesting. The Slickcraft is going to rest in its quiet covered slip for the weekend.
