Glad I was not the only one to arrive sackless.

I would have followed the herd, but a 3 way with Dan and Arne..........no thanks! Dan I owe you $20

I waited until first light and after pulling a couple 10 foot planks out of the launch, sat there in the slop with Avery and Tobey. I managed to get knocked down once ops: .

Tobey's yak got turned by the rip and wave refraction as he held the bow. A large clump of kelp tangled his tethered rods and made it impossible to right. It took all three of us to straighten it out. Ripped out one of his flushmounts and broke 2 rod tips. He was getting tangled in the kelp as well and it could have got worse. Glad you are OK Tobey! See you knuckle heads next time I took this as a sign to not fish today.

The year has just begun, I'd like to start off right.
