... Saturday 7/12 until 3PM ... then it picked up a bit, eh? ... looks like from Thursday on, you will have much better days for fishing ... and nights for sleeping ...

I have an urge to rent and watch "Horatio Hornblower" starring Gregory Peck.

 

[Rosemary]

Or "Captains Courageous" starring Spenser Tracy.

"Master and Commander" with Russell Crowe is my fave. I also like the A&E Hornblower series.

The unrelenting wind this summer has for sure been the most talked about topic on the wharf !!!....I sleep through anything so thats good ..... A lot of missed trips though and that's not good...beach and Beachcomber lunch and mini golf today will probably become just Beachcomber lunch and a Movie - given the forecast

... looks like it will be switching to a can't buy a breeze mode soon ... bad for sailing, good for fishing ...

yep and those are my two mates Matt and Nico and that's my skiff with the solar powered electric motor right in front of it so I was definitely around somewhere

 

[MIke R]

There s a new kid in town

 

[Rosemary]

Pretty. I was wondering about that motor when I saw it in Lena's birthday picture. How is the power?

Its good for a normal day going in and out ..... On a heavy wind day I would get a ride out with someone else but that happens very rarely .....very happy with it and very happy not having to lug gas cans to the dinghy too .....would not recommend it for people who have to go in and out a lot during the day .... It wouldn't hold up to that kind of demand .... For me - once in and once back per day - its perfect

We ve got a bunch of monster yachts in this week ...love the fact that we only let two in
to the inner harbor and the rest have to anchor outside

and yet......they still come
