How Was Your June Fishing?

[piemma]

I figured someone else had to be getting lessons in seamanship with this weather. C-town breachway always looked like a bitch to me. I have never run it but I can just imagine what it's like with a SE 20knts and a full dropping tide.

There's an old saying that goes something like "calm seas do not make great sailors". I'd say it speaks right to your point about becoming a better boatsman. I feel the same way, as i've been tested on a few occasions. Lots of trips it's just been a challenge finding the right speed and trim height to glide over everything. East winds are a bitch down there.
