18-20kt winds with 6-7ft swells at 11 seconds. yeah, that's not gonna be fun. been out in worse at catapalooza, but that's probably coming in to the island. and just getting on and off the boat will be a thrill ride. unless he can get out of it on the lee side or inside pyramid cove.
there's some great fishing on the front side, and I would think that we'd be pretty protected in tight to the front side.
either way, shane and john are top notch and will have a great game plan. see y'all tomorrow afternoon.
