Santa Ana winds coming. Cooling first, then winds and warming. That's what I read. Does this mean we want to keep breakfast early and brief and get under way in a timely fashion? And I guess a tailwind coming home Sunday?

Well folks, it seems that life has thrown another pie in my face at the last minute and I'm going to have to cancel out on joining you all for the Santa Barbara gathering. Crook

If anyone was hoping to join the group but was unable to get their dock reservations in time, please make use of mine with my best wishes for a wonderful weekend. Thumbs Up

Have a great time and tip one for me. Beer

Weather's handing us a bummer. Small Craft Warnings for tomorrow through Saturday. Winds 10-15 early, 15-25 later with higher gusts. Seas 4-6, 11 secs. Never know what it's going to look like when we get outside, as the forcasts are for the Santa Barbara Channel, and that includes the "windy lane", which is always the worst. It may, or may not, be calmer closer in. I was really hoping for a calm ride.....Muffin does not like it rough.....gets scared and wants to be up in my lap. I would trailer up but my transmission lost 3rd gear a couple of days ago, and is in the shop in Ventura. I'm driving a loaner Trail Blazer. We'll see in the morning.

Well, I don't guess I want to deliberately go out into small craft warnings. I'm now thinking of trailering up to Lake Silverwood tonight, fishing in the morning, and heading over to Santa Barbara on the trailer to join you guys and use my slip reservations for Friday and Saturday nights. I'd like to see the gang, pick up my hatch covers, visit a while, and do the AYC lunch on the way home.

Are most people still going?

I was first thinking of Casitas or Cachuma, but the Quagga Mussel procedures there look prohibitive. I couldn't find any information about restrictions at Silverwood.

One possible negative to this trip plan is that I'd be driving right past the Bass Pro Outlet store in Rancho Cucamonga. That could be expensive.

Good news, I think. My truck is ready with a rebuilt tranny. Going to pick it up tonight, so I now have the option tomorrow of trailering up to Santa Barbara. See everyone at the Landing tomorrow bright & early.
