Well, looks like I'll be moping around the docks this weekend, doing my boat chores. Little too nasty out there for me!

We decided to stay at home by the fire tonight since they cancelled the hail that was forecast. :)

We haven't been out for two weeks so we're getting a bit restless and will head down in the AM. We're also restless because we're waiting for Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, orbit insertion to take place http://marsprogram.jpl.nasa.gov/mro/mission/tl_moi-soe.html . White knuckle time, but not from sailing.

Yeah, I think that was you guys I saw on the news this morning, the boat tossed around by the waves, raining like cats and dogs, and you guys calmly sunbathing with a cup of coffee and a magazine...

I think it might clear up by tomorrow, and I hope to sneak out for an afternoon sail in between showers.

I was out on Sunday the 5th for what I call my winter time Fish & Day Sails. I motor out early (no wind) to what the local fisherman call the Horse Shoe, right by the channel markers at the entrance to LA Harbor. I troll for Bonita's on the way out and then I bait up some bottom lures and just drift until the wind picks up in the late morning / early afternoon. Then I go sailing. Caught a very nice 7 lb Calico Bass this time. I am starting to get a really bad Catalina Jones, but this has turned into a very late winter. Before we know it, Bam!, it will heat up. Can't wait!:egrin:
