Ira,
sounds like you had a nice day out on the island.  I think you picked the best
day of the weekend to go out there, i went on Friday and the winds were strong
and blowing right down both sides of the island (out of the west?).  I
launched from the west end free launch just short of Fort Gaines and paddled
through some pretty big whitecaps in the channel.  I guess the tide was
receding because when i got to the point their were huge breakers smashing
into each other.  With my lack of hip pads or knee braces i was toast.  Air
temp was pretty low also, which took away some of the fun.  I just couldnt
wait another day for my minicell foam from CLC.  Anyone else out there
customize their cockpits?
sorry i missed you,
robin lovelock
mobile, al.
