Hey Steve have a good one.

Tom M. & I are in for one day this weekend either tomorrow or Sunday if the cast holds true. I left phone messages for Gary s. & Mark C. about the weekend.

This buoy is a bit to the south (Drum Point) and it's reporting NNE:

I wish that buoy 44062 was reporting reliably : It's immediately upwind of the cliffs.

The bay forecast is a bit northerly early today:

While it does swing more east as of about 1pm, the stronger stuff in the middle of
the bay also starts to back off.

I think it's a 50/50 sort of day at best, but still thinking about it....

Looks like we're willing to give it a try, though that might change. Call if you need an update.
