I'm itching to get mine out of drydock and get out there..... should only be a couple more weeks...

CYA on the water

I can sympathize, it has been blowing here for 2 months. But where there is a will there's a way. We have had lots of east wind so we hug the coast and have had some nice boating. It's great for sleeping out with the temps hovering around 70 at night.

We stayed on the hook this weekend with mild overnight temps in the low 70's with a nice breeze. There is nothing like soaking in that sea breeze whistling thorough the cabin.

Arrived home last night at 9:30. I am beat today but wouldn't miss being on the water. Our water clarity has been the best I have seen in years. I think the lack of rain and runoff have improved things dramatically. :thumbsup:
 
Spent the week end on the water ... fantastic!

SoFla winds are slowing calming down but sea state is still on the choppy side near shore, worse off shore.

I'm fine in 2ft choppy seas, its like they a ren't even there, but 30ft's will be uncomfortable unless they have a deep V hull.

The catch was sparce Sunday and friends coming in fror a day outside ... came back with little more than a better tan for their efforts.
