I'll be around
Enjoy the BBQ. I had forgotten how much I liked it till I came back to Big "D" for a few weeks. I'll be in FL for a while. Last time was three months. This time, not sure.Yes, they were dredging the pass and out into the gulf for several weeks before I left. I watched boats going out having to bear off due east just outside the jetty (thus putting waves directly on their starboard) for several hundred yards before turning south again.My concern is coming back in with only a 7.5 hp engine and a following sea. I've had a few wild rides from nothing more than the wakes off large tugs passing me. Eight foot following seas would be something else.I've done some of the bay and the shallow stuff coming from BRooks Bridge knocks off some of the fun, but I need to get farther northeast. I just want to get into the Gulf sometime for a little while. Give me a yell when you get back.BTW....did you try using bungee cords out to the stays to keep the kids from slapping against the mast all night?
