Leaving on Friday
On Friday the forecast is for 10-20 until it picks up in the afternoon. The direction is NW to W. That's occasional whitecaps and one less than close-hauled tack.
For us that should mean a good sail with maybe one reef. If the wave period is long enough we might not even take any spray over the bow but it sounds as if the combined swells will be 6-8 feet.
We'll definitely head out but if it turns out to become worse than forecast we'll turn around.
Hope to see a bunch of you out there. If you PM me I'll give you Nancy's cell phone number ... or just use VHF 9 to hail us in the Isthmus since we usually leave that on most of the time.
Can't wait !!

Fri Night
W winds 15 to 25 kt with occasional gusts to 35 kt...diminishing to W to NW 10 to 20 kt after midnight. Combined seas 6 to 8 ft.
Sat

We have decided to stay in port. Bummer.

At this point I am still playing it by ear.
I will not decide until Saturday Morning. Right now, crossing on Saturday is looking better than Friday. With me it's not just the possibility of big seas and 35 knot gusts but the gloomy weather. My Brother is also prone to sea sickness. He's on Vacation and I would hate to go over there and just hang out under the rain fly in the drizzle. Also possibility of heavy fog crossing early.
I have had issues with my radar lately. The tech has been down to service it twice now and it's working for the moment but I still don't trust it.
The Pride Of Cucamonga is a big Maybe at this point.
Maybe we should consider a Cat Harbor Rendezvous later in the Summer when it's warm and the moorings are plentiful.
Don't get me wrong Sven, I will really try to get over there this weekend. If I don't, have fun Storming the castle without me.

That's what happens when your boat is too well kept !
Kidding aside, I agree with "bummer" but we'll meet up some day in the future.
We're all in the same boat, in a manner of speaking. We'll play it by ear too and see what happens. I think you get more actual sailing time than we do so for us this might be a good practice run in non-gorgeous weather, within limits.
Here's to good, but not too good wind and sparkling sunshine.

Hello all, looking at the forecast we are going to have to sit this one out. We are all disappointed and hope to see you all soon.
Enjoy your weekend all.

Maybe you should play it by ear rather than canceling ?
It looks to me like the weather forecast is getting better. I still reserve the right to turn around too but I'd hate to miss the weekend if it should turn out to be really nice despite the earlier forecasts.
Fair winds to you all,

We will keep an eye on the weather, I just do not want to scare my wife or younger daughter and keep them off the boat forever. They are a bit nervous. I call Jennifer my dadometer, the more the boat heals the louder and faster she says Dad. dad, Dad, DAd, DAD, etc. May go sailing next Wed. if the weather is nice. A pilot friend wants to try sailing.
I hope everyone has a nice weekend wherever they end up.
