65 Knt Winds, 10 Metre Seas on La Perouse tonight, would be a fun night in Bamfield. Not so fun if you wern't in the Harbour.

Well I went and put another line on the boat. Tied down pretty much everything on the dock. Walked around the place and put away anything that could fly away.
Generater is full of fuel for when the trees hit the power line and here I sit without a breath of wind. Waiting. Keep you posted if I can

[lorneparker1]

Well being in the business i am in and being able to work 3 of the last 15 days, i am about ready to hang myself right now

 

[nedarb2]

I think weve had every season this week. Rain, snow, sun,dead calm, and a hurricane!

 

[Fishing Guide]

Cheers All,

My charter for tomorrow arrived in town and I broke the news we will not be fishing. I was concerned
that they would take it wrong. I was wrong. They brought wind surfers and are planning to find a
safe place to take in Mother Nature. Oh...and they rebooked for next week! Go figure.....

 

[bananas]

It's here boys race rocks is 50kts from the se yuk. It doesn't look like it's hit farther up the coast though, any reports from BAM

 

[Bod]

I stuck my nose outside and my guestimate would be around 35 knots. Take another look after daylight. I don't think I'll be Hali fishing though.
