It's already quite the task to time the crossing of the channels on a clear day ... dodging the moving boats, ships, team racing canoes, swimmers and SUP's speeding thru the channel .... now add dense fog to the equation ... FORGET IT!!!

I could hear the people talking on their boats as they motored past me by in the dense fog ... I decided to stay close to the LAYC wall today.

I never did cross the channel today, I just played it safe on this day.

Yay ... I didn’t see the sun all morning long, so it remained on the dark side that day.
The water was actually warmer than the air.

By all the predictions available to us, I thought that LAB would have been the hotspot on that day! Go figure!   lol

The bass trifecta. Great job on a very slow day. Its always better to play it safe in the fog. At least you got out there and made it happen. Almost took you up on the offer but still battling this shoulder thing. Wasn't abel to get out there. Of of these weekend days i will get out there with you. Need to rub more mojo off on old stitch

Yeah I know what you mean about your elbow, I’m still dealing with tennis elbow from landing the 37 inch halibut with just my right arm, it all but wrecked my arm.

I just won’t let it slow me down.

When you’re all mended up to it, let me know and will make that session happen
