: Nick, Jim, and I launched from SBA and headed to Napatree. On the
: way over the larger sets were rideable but not in the direction
: we were heading. The wind was strong, but building. Rode some
: into the wading pool on the backside and then went to look past
: the Molars. Nick described it as a washing machine. The wind had
: sets in one direction, the swells were coming in about 45
: degrees off and the tide was running out. Pretty chaotic and
: nothing organized enough to ride.

: There were some sets in the wading pool that became double
: amplitude where they joined and if you could catch one of those,
: they weren't bad.

: Nick had to bug out early to head to Maine. Jim and I headed back a
: little later. The wind was continuing to build. It was a slog
: back to SBA. Jim was running a little east of me on a shallower
: ferry angle and ran into Kate and Tom - apparently headed to
: Fishers ?

: Good day for sailing. Too much work for surfing. Earl was a little
: disappointing.

: However, it was a GREAT day to be on the water - warm wind, warm
: water, no jellyfish !

Phil,
When I ran into Kate and Tom we spoke of conditions and what the paddle over to Napatree would probably be like. I guess I said Fishers when I meant to say Napatree when I was telling you I spoke with them. That earlier high pressure sinus flush I experienced must have short circuited a few cobwebs:)
