and so it begins.......

[David Hall]

I just pulled the plug.  My boat is  28' and 10k lbs and can handle far worse than I care to be in and As much as I'm dying for a platter piled high with fresh caught dungeness, there's plenty of time in the season and I don't need to risk anyone's well being.  It looks to settle mid next week and I'm ready when it breaks so I will have to stay home, work on my garage and enjoy staying close to home.  I can take off any day the conditions allow.

You guys are killing me.......
I am so hungry!

[theswimmer]

Absolutely David,
When I was chatting with the owner of  'Psalms this afternoon he stated that they layed off the bar at Moss for an hour and half for an opportunity to get in.
Sometimes you just have to wait.

[theswimmer]

Gotta go😎

[theswimmer]

here's what the break water looks like.



a closer view.  it will be worse on sunday.  

Alan you should explain that you shot that first  vid from at minimums 2500 feet away.
That jetty is at least 16-18 feet tall.
Pretty big waves what?

I'm older and slower but my memory is not so bad I have forgotten the times when I wished I had stayed home instead of having to cross that bar coming into Moss with a boat full of people oblivious to the s just not worth it anymore.

[theswimmer]

That can be a mess for sure.
More than once I have just chugged around offshore , cooked dinner  and then headed in.
I want to get there, not in a hurry.

[alantani]

yeah, they were big.  best thing, chief and his wife, allison, just arrived. 

[alantani]

chief brought a really nice, really old, saber.

It was great to meet Alan, Tim and Steve today in Cayucos.
'Tis a real pity about the charter, but the ocean is a fickle mistress  
The lads were kind enough to pass on some sensational tuna and wahoo for our family get-together tonight in Morro Bay.
Here's how it played out...

The sashimi:



And the spread:



As good as it gets!
Looking forward to catching up again tomorrow, after Andrew and I chase down some triple-overhead+ waves somewhere along the coast!
Cheers lads - was a pleasure and a privilege.

[Alto Mare]

Sorry it didn't work out for you guys, but looks like you still had a great time.
Nice to see Justin there, I wish I was there as well.
Great videos Alan, you're hired!
Tim, you're a natural, Gordon Ramsay doesn't have a thing on you.

This was still a great report, very enjoyable.

Yep!  Tim and Gordon have the same off color vocabulary.    Dominick

[Dominick]

Justin are you coming north to San Francisco or there about?  Dominick

[redsetta]

Hi Dominick,
I wish I was, as I wanted to catch up with you, but time's running short now.
Hoping to head back up to Cayucos this arvo and see the crew again, if they're about.
There's a hot rod show on up there today, which I think they've been enjoying...
I'll be back again in a year or two, so let's aim to catch up then - I'll try to fly in to SF next time!
Hope all's well with you.
Cheers mate, Justin

[Shark Hunter]

Looks like a Serious Pajama Party going on there.
