Beautiful day, but for the winds. No feeeeshing for me.


Harry,

According to the National Weather Forecast, it is 5-15 knots in the open
part of the bay, with 1 to 2 ft waves. Now I know you have a low transom
boat, and you can't go out in 1 to 2 ft. waves, but with all of the
creeks and inlets off the the CB, there must be hundreds of places that
even you can boat safely.

According to
http://www.chesapeakebayweather.com/ the weather is North winds, less
than 10 mph

and lastly it is 10 mph at Annapolis at 10 am

Since 5 - 15 knots is probably fairly common for the CB, you might have
purchased the wrong boat if you can't use it under those conditions.

I know your LT will send the waves crashing into the boat with 1 ft.
waves, but you can purchase some really nice boots to keep your feet dry

I see bass boat fishing in 20 mph winds when it is 30 degrees outside,
so I guess it depends upon your skill level.



I'm cutting you and several others a new deal. You are temporarily out
of my bozo bin.

Beginning today, if you and the others I have released behave
reasonably, I will treat you the same way.

But when you post one of your snide little insults, as you have above,
I'll simply call you out on it thusly:


Here's yet another of the many daily attacks from
______________________, and if you count them up, you will
see what he adds here in "boating" content.



The __________________, obviously, will be reserved for the name of the
insulter.

Oh...just as a point of information, Chesapeake Bay is a large body of
water and has differing weather patterns depending upon location.

Here's mine:

Forecast as of 11:28 am EDT on September 23, 2007
Chesapeake Bay From North Beach To Drum Point-
Chesapeake Bay From Drum Point To Smith Point-
This Afternoon
N winds 15 kt. Waves 3 ft.


From 7 to 10 AM today, the weather station on the Thomas Point
lighthouse was reporting winds between 15 and 22 knots, and gusts to 22
knots.


Three foot waves of the kind we have around here do not make for
pleasant fishing.



Try to be a little more than a GoogleBoater, eh.
