Mondays cruises were a good ride with winds from the South at 10-15 kts through the day.  Waves were 2-3 feet and we kept the wind on the bow or the stern for the best ride.

 

Today and the rest of the weeks forecast is for light South and Southwest winds.  The waves will be 1-2 feet and the ride will be great.  We will cruise North and South 3.5 miles off the beach fro the best ride.
