AmosSwogger Posted June 10 Report Posted June 10 Thanks for the updates. Nice fish Nate. Looks like strong wind. Quote
Oyster Posted June 10 Report Posted June 10 Wow, great videos, and if that was around four hours ago, that's when it was "calm" by comparison to the current noon time conditions. 1 Quote
Alan Stewart Posted June 11 Author Report Posted June 11 Richard aka Fetch opted for the Adam's Creek route. Pic from yesterday. Harlowe had 1kt foul current. Rowed through at 1kt. Anchored in Taylor creek at 3am. Drug anchor in the squall and nearly hit a boat! TOO exciting. reset and slept another hour. Hope to be back at cedar island by sundown. 1 Quote

Alan Stewart Posted June 11 Author Report Posted June 11 Dawn and I finished! Nate is right behind. Camera is an insta360-3 with a loong selfish stick then just captured off my phone. 1 Quote
Oyster Posted June 11 Report Posted June 11 Great job, And Tony, while being landlocked for a while from selling his boat, looked foward to these events that gave him an excuse to slip away from inland. He would have really loved the real time videos and photos this time around. You guys were challenged in the sound. How many went this year? By the way do you know how many miles that boat has under its keel? Its certainly a well traveled and proven skiff. Quote
Alan Stewart Posted June 12 Author Report Posted June 12 Nate finished the NCC in the spindrift 12. 2 capsizes and lots of Jellyfish but he made it!!! Great job! And Richard and Gareth finished this morning in his Wayfarer and is off to do the Governers cup. These guys are tough! 2 Quote
