Well, Friday looks like the best day out of the three. On Sat we are expecting 70% chance of rain, West wind of between 8-11mph and overnight temps as low as 30F.
The good news is that we will have a clubhouse nearby all be it with a few tarp walls. Gas lights, cooking and some heat will be provided and we can have a fire. Also, with power at the dock we get to enjoy electric heat.

I am fighting off a cold, but plan to be there for the three days.

The WX on the Straits doesn't look too good for tomorrow so we're leaving this afternoon and will overnight at Port Townsend. Thursday night at Brownsville and then on to the CBGT Friday. See you all there.

I just returned from a few hours out cruising and fishing. A beautiful windless day on the south sound. Friday should be much the same if the forecast holds.

I have packed some firewood in the boat as I think we will need the warmth of a nice fire.

I will leave here Friday am, and should be at Indian Cove by the afternoon. Looking forward to the gathering. It will be a bit cool, but power at the slip will be oh so nice!

As far as an activity for Sat, I guess I will just wait to see what the weather brings. At the very least, sitting around a campfire wouldn't be half bad. Very Happy

I'd hoped to boat to this one because I love South Sound and jeez, Robbi's been gobbling up oodles of island fun down there for as long as I've known her. Following her year-round exploits is marvelous entertainment, but how much vicarious living can one man digest?

It's early March, I'm of middle-age and a warm Saturday drive this weekend sounds just right. Still, given today's our 20th anniversary, a three day saltwater honeymoon would be a better gift for Bambina. Flowers felt facetious, chocolate a cliche', so Bambina took a smooch to the prow. Soon a more complete expression of sentiment can manifest: a cruise!

Be safe, everyone, and I'll see you Saturday.

Well, it looks as though we're gonna bow out of this one. Sad

You've done a great job of planning this shindig Jim. I have no doubt loads of fun will be had by all.

Hope to see y'all in Friday Harbor, if not sooner.

For those launching near South Sound

Case Inlet on the East of Hartstine Island and
Pickering on the West of Hartsine Island may vary considerable when windy.

Pickering is usually more protected

Be safe

Roger,

Smart move. Looks like it got to 40 Kts at Smith and is currently 31 NW at Point Wilson Shocked

Watch out for the rips if you leave on the ebb.

K2 is going to boat hospital at Cap Sante tomorrow for final diagnostics.

Barry, Take a good look South toward Bush point before you take off from Keystone.

Stay safe,

Merv

And now...snow! Crying or Very sad

This does not begin to show what is going on here on March 5, the day before we need to go down a very steep hill (and come back up two days later) towing a boat...

Pat, I was about to laugh but I looked out of the window first. We have a heavy sleet/hailstorm on South Whidbey at an altitude of 213ft! This at 0900Hrs.
