12 foot waves 9 sec period and 35 kt winds.

Patooey..... isn't even fit to walk on the beach..... :-(


Yes... But are the fish biting?

I guess I'll never know. Sat on the boat and read for a while....
listening to the wind and the lap of the water....

Fishing would have been too much like dangling a line off of a fast
freight elevator... Besides, I suggested it to the little lady and
although most of it was drowned out by the wind, I did catch something
about, .........cold day.........Hell..............I go ...... full
gale...... Decided not to say, "Huh?"

She doesn't like ice-fishing?

I heard huge stripers were running the beach
somewhere on the Outer Banks.
Makes me yearn for the coast again.....sigh

It won't be long now though.. we have a 3rd annual trip to the
Outer Banks planned for ACC tourney weekend again..

The 1st trip resulted in about 75 degrees, and bathing suits on the beach.
Last year, we got up to the 40's and about 30 knot winds.
I wonder what this year has in store. I really don't care, Im just
ready to go.

I only saw two people anywhere near the water.... two young guys in
wetsuits surfing. I'm still not sure if what I saw was *surfing* or
*wind surfing* ... as these guys tended to be blown forward off the
board.

There's a new Italian restaurant at South Harbour Village, but the
restaurant on the water went Tango Uniform. SeaGrass has stayed open
all winter... $$$$$$$, but good eats. All of the touristy stuff is
closed. Just a good time to kick off the shoes in front of a toasty
fire and savor thick homemade chowder......

Oh, well, there'll be better fishing weather to come.....

Yea..you know it man. At least you can be "close" to it.
Some of us bozo's can only dream
of the sunsets you enjoy right about now.
