While it hasn't got any worse, the forecast has not changed since Sunday. 7' swell w/ 3 foot wind chop is no picnic, and I would say a very questionable run for anything but larger (20+) deep hulled vessels. Maybe I'm conservative, but I always came home safe aboard my vessels.
What has changed is Thursday night--looking rougher, which gives reason for pause. Let's pray everybody plays it safe, and gets home safe.
