Lost Boys & Co.

Lost Boys & Co... T he man who is intent on making the most of his opportunities is too busy to bother about luck. Bernie Charles Forbes W e talked to this guy who drove his Land Rover off the ferry (#1) and we jokingly said, "Thought you could drive that thing across!"  He said in an almost impenetrable accent, something that sounded like, "We did that going over and we had to take an haddock outta the air cleaner." C loudy this morning with 10 miles visibility.  Winds out of the south 3 to 5kts and the sea surface was tacked up.  The air temperature was 67.0 º  and the water is 69.3 º.  High tide is at 10:11am +4.0' and low tide will be at 2:38pm +2.2'.  Swell is out of the SSW 192 º  at 2.3' and it was half that and ankle breakingly perfect...

Lost Boys & Co... "N ever trust a man who, let alone with a tea cozy in a room, doesn't try it on."

It was where the fresh water was mixing into the salt!  Kinda cool... A  beautiful day in the Southland with 10 miles visibility and partly cloudy skies.  Winds were light offshore and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temp was 65.0 º  and the water is 70.0 º .  High tide is at 7:41am +3.0' and low tide follows at 11:38am +2.2'.  It's a SSW swell out of 209 º  at 3.3' and it was 2' to 3' and the crew was in fine form in the cute lit...

Lost Boys & Co... W e don't know how it happened, but we let Ed talk us into going out this morning.  It started out glassy (#1), but by the time we hit it, it was onshore by 5 to 6kts and pretty roughed up.  Kinda hazy, almost foggy in the a.m. sunnying up as the day progresses.  The air temp was 65.5 º  and the water is close to 70.0 º .  High tide was at 6:13am +2.8' and low tide followed at 10:34am +2.0'.  It's a SSW swell out of 194 º  at 3.6' and it was 3' with some bigger slammers guaranteed to send you to the bottom quickly... I t's not that we don't care about where George Washington slept, but dammit the Beatles played here!  It's changed names three times and is now a coffee shop, but the BEATLES! L ola is famous for getting digs in the middle of the most quaint towns, but she outdid herself with Whiskey, Gin, Beer and Gifts next door!  That's our do...
