i drove past a lonely h16 on the beach in long beach right after the storm hit and it was still up right! Half the beach was on 90, but the cat looked fine. By some miracle the winds that were sort of lifting my car in the parking lot while i was eating lunch didn't flip the cat.
You guys coming down this weekend?

breakfast for 1699 little fun regata will be around 9ish... cassarole, grits, coffee, etc... and we'll prob start the first race around 11... do as many buoy loops as we feel like... come in, have some cold brews, and it's cook your own steak night at OSYC.. bring a steak and $6 for sides/fixings, etc... so going to be a nice chill day all around... hope you can make it... cheer - Rob -

the marine forecast and the noaa buoy site are my first read every day...constantly looking for those gems. it was stellar! it was the first sailing experience for my crew that day and it BLEW his mind...winds shifting e/se but a steady 12 kts with some chop and nice swells for the sail out...I let him skipper and I took the main and just pointed him to west ship. it was rock and roll launching the boat through the waves and when he figured out how to catch the wind and ride out a puff it was on like donkey kong. after we got to the island, the winds kept building and it was a freaky gorgeous day. we shoved off and the ride home was a beam reach to west deer island going parallel with the swells...rooster tail shooting, blinding spray in the face, hold on for dear life, warp speed fun...and then we rounded the island to a broad reach surfing the all mighty! i'm sore...but my teeth got bleached for free from all that smiling

Good to see you back Bill! Got out today for a couple of hours on what was probably the hottest Saturday of the year so far, at least 108 heat index.
