It's safe enough. I am in the back basin here and it's somewhat protected.
If we get the winds they are predicting, I'd rather be down here to check
the lines on the boats rather than being home worrying about them.

Besides, it's fun.

I am glad I put the boat to sleep last weekend, including putting the winter
cover on. We are seeing heavy rains and winds tomorrow are expected to come
close to 50 mph.

Our friends with the Lyman had hoped to put the tarp on their boat
tomorrow.................key word 'hoped'....;-)

Went out boating today. Sunburn weather. Hate them water weeds. Had an
overheat today. The mossy stuff plugged up the input end of the heat
exchanger. Franks track is a flooded island and is about 8' deep. With
weeds about 2' below the surface. No Black Bass, lots of little stripers.
Decision for tomorrow. SF Bay and halibut and stripers or mokelumne river
and stripers and salmon and LM bass? Supposed to cooler tomorrow. High
30's at night, 70's daytime.

So, when do you guys in the SF Bay area consider the boating season to be
"over"?
Or do you?

The problem with SF is that you can't tell the difference between
winter and summer, as in the old joke about spending a winter in San
Francisco one August.

Summer and winter are drastically different on SF Bay. The sailors love
summer as we get much more wind on the bay then plus lots more fog. The 50
degree offshore water and the 100 degree inland valley supplies the raw
energy for the wind farms between the two. Winter is mild, maybe 3 months
of rain, about 22" total, and the hills are green. Actually one of the nice
times to visit the north part of the state. And Dungeness crab season runs
from Nov. 11 to end of June.

I went out to look at the Lake during halftime of the Ohio State game. 5-7
footers.........surfs up.

Here is a reading of a buoy further out on the Lake:
http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=45005

The Lake should kick up even more overnight if these winds keep up.

Wind predictions have been upgraded a bit overnight ...

From the National Weather Service:

"WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO QUICKLY INCREASE FROM THE SOUTH EARLY
SATURDAY MORNING...WITH SUSTAINED SPEEDS POSSIBLY REACHING 40 TO
45 MPH BY NOON. WIND GUSTS LATE SATURDAY MORNING INTO SATURDAY
AFTERNOON COULD REACH 65 MPH.

WINDS WILL SHIFT TO SOUTHWEST AND BRIEFLY DIMINISH TO 30 TO
35 MPH WITH GUSTS CLOSE TO 45 MPH EARLY SATURDAY NIGHT...BUT WILL
PICK UP AGAIN DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. BLUSTERY AND POSSIBLY
DAMAGING WEST WIND GUSTS COULD AGAIN REACH 65 MPH ON SUNDAY...
ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS."This could be interesting.Eisboch

For us:
....WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 2 PM THIS AFTERNOON TO 11 PM EDT THIS
EVENING...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN CLEVELAND HAS ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY FOR
MOST OF NORTHERN OHIO AND INLAND NORTHWEST PENNSYLVANIA.

WEST WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 25 TO 35 MPH THIS AFTERNOON WITH GUSTS AROUND 45
MPH. WINDS OF THESE MAGNITUDES MAY CAUSE OUTDOOR OBJECTS SUCH AS GARBAGE
CANS AND LAWN FURNITURE TO BE BLOWN AROUND AND DAMAGED. A FEW TREE LIMBS AND
POWER LINES MAY COME DOWN.

THE STRONG WINDS ARE DUE TO A RAPIDLY STRENGTHENING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. THE
LOW IS EXPECTED TO MOVE FROM THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY TO LAKE ONTARIO BY
TONIGHT AND TO QUEBEC ON SUNDAY.
