Thumbs down Yankee clipper 12/13

Not a great day. Alarm didn't work, we had to rush over to Gloucester, and made it just before the boat left at 7AM. Hopped on. Things were going OK - 2-4 foot seas, we ran about 4 miles offshore until the wind started picking up. 4-6 foot seas. Then, 6-8. The boat was soaked in water, deck with all slush and rails with icycles, my reel was all frozen. The wind was really bad, at one time I could not feel my hands at all. The captain decided to do a turnaround - that was it, no fishing today. The weather cancelled once again.
Nevertheless a fun boat ride.....but I haven't fished in a month now, between cancelled trips and things like this....
Can't try again tomorrow due to the storm. My next trip is an One day Georges on the Frances fleet 12/27 with Mike, 10PM-10PM. Hope the weather is merciful, and the trip fills up so they leave! Well that was the report....tight lines!!

Tight Lines!
