Todays "2 foot wind wave" was more like 4 feet. It was probably 8' combined out of Depoe today. Steep, sharp nasty little waves out of the Southwest on top of 4-5 foot swell out of the Northwest. Made for a long ride home, going 'downhill' on the swell pushing you into 'uphill' on the wind waves.

We putzed around and didn't get out into the blue until 10:00, no more than one minute and the first fish was on and it met the requirements to come aboard! OH baby , it was going to be hot... minutes later.. bam...lost it at the boat....10 minutes later...ditto... then there was silence. tick tock tick tock. 11:00 rolled around and my crew's zest was waning fast in the sloppy waters.

So I head from B1 rip current to CR....BAM, a nook joins the silver. Tick tock tick tock. Uh oh, sombody's getting sick...both crew memebers are a bit yellow now trying not to make eye contact with each other, or talk to me.

We cashed in @ 12:00 with 2 keepers, 3 lost and 2 sick mates. I wanted to relocate but the conditions were really taking their toll and I didn't want to subject everybody to more jossling around..

Oh, did I give a conditions report. Wind...and chop...and more wind with more chop. Sloppy I would say.

Stopped to visit a dog in #33,,,but the dog wasn't home...
