40 kt with gusts up to 50 kt after midnight. Waves 2 ft...building to 5
ft after midnight. Widespread heavy rain and scattered tstms in the
evening tapering to scattered showers overnight.


Gusts up to 50 mph? On the Bay...

Too bad it'll be dark...watching five footers or more on the Bay would
be a sight to see.

It's not uncommon for 5-footers in English Bay. Calm out there this
weekend, though: tried fishing off the Pink Appts, anchored off Wreck
Beach and took Near Cove in, then motored over to Kits beach, anchored,
and took Near Cove to Bard On The Beach. Spent the night anchored, then
docked at Granville Island this afternoon for some shopping. Just got
back: What an Excellent "West Coast Weekend"!
