Yeah, sounds like a good day for a boat ride. ;-) We knew it was going to be "spirited", so little Izzy stayed home. She was being especially cute, though...
In her "fortress"...
As expected, the water was sloppy... the weather weasels called it: rough bay conditions. Wild Blue called it: fun. We ran around in a couple of the local channels before heading out to the ship channel; mostly just checking out what has changed... boats moved, some new docks, way fewer shrimp boats. Into the channel, it was pretty flat on the south side of our island with the north wind. It felt good just to be out.
As the boat bounced around in the chop, Joan said, "It doesn't look that bad."
"Um, I'd call this 2 1/2 foot waves stacked right on top of each other. One heck of a fetch from the north."
When we got to the jetties area, the waves were crashing over the jetties, making them barely visible...
First time in a very long time there wasn't a single person out there fishing. ;-)
Wild Blue got a thorough fresh water wash down when we got home, but no point in wiping her down - the wind is just going to howl through the night.
