I hear ya! Don't feel bad, we were out then too! Put in at Shoreline about midnight. The parking lot was dead empty....here's your sign!

Seemed likeENE wind there....at LEAST 20+. Plan was to start over by Chickenbone and head west. Shoot, 1/2 way across we were getting wet and pounded so we abandonedTHAT idea! Figured theslop was getting worse the farther we went, and if they were there, we probably wouldn't be able to see 'em anyway! We poked around on the west side of GB (a LITTLE sheltered). We didn't expect much, and unfortunately were right. Oh well, good company, a few beers, and a night on the water! An earlier report was much better: they got eight...started at sundown. Timing is everything (well important, at least!). How often does the wind PICK UP at night? SHEESH! :banghead

At least you got one. Good for you for toughing it out!

Better luck next time!
