A Tale of Two FishBones and a Warning!

[willy]

On another note the family run on FishBones did not come to pass today, was supposed to be 5-10 knots today, got all the way down to the Highlands and there is a mad dash getting off the water, apparently a front took a left turn and my 5-10's were 15-20. Guys were stacked waiting to get out.
@#$%#$@@!**%^##.

So took them all out for a nice early dinner on the waterfront instead.
Oh well, best laid plans you know

Holy crap you aint kidding....launched in Sayreville about noon yesterday....was getting wet while still in the river!....made it out to the mouth of the bay and wind was HOWLING....tucked in behind staten island around the Outer Bridge and it was not to bad...spent a few hours surrounded by slapping bunker all around the boat but no fish. Took a ride up to the Goethels Bridge for fun....At least we made it out but man I havent seen the wind blowing that hard in a while.

Yea when you see white caps in Atlantic Highlands harbor things are not good.
It was funny, I guess as the standard afternoon winds came on top of the front moving through people were bailing out quick and they were stacked up waiting to tie off and get their trucks.
Chinese fire drill.
I am just shocked at the marine weather forecast and the actual conditions, wow!
Not only did they have the winds WAY wrong but the direction also.

Good going. Peace of mind right there.
