THE 4:50 AM ONSLOW BAY BOUY DELIVERED 22 AND WAS GUSTING TO 27 AND DIMINISHING HOPEFULLY EARLY A.M.


I ARRIVED AT THE NIGHTHAWK AROUND 4:30 ....36 DEGREES AND NW...NOT THE USUAL HUSTLE BUSTLE DOCKSIDE ACTIVITY ONE WOULD EXPECT.....MIKE RAISED HIS EYEBROWS AS I BOARDED....I MEAN WE AIN'T ON A 60 FOOTER FOR GOSH SAKES AND WHATS A TWO HOUR WAIT.....

THE HOOTERS FLAG ON HIWAY 70 WAS TAKEN DOWN YESTERDAY AND THE DODGE DEALERSHIP OLD GLORY WIND-O-METER ACROSS THE STREET LOOKED LIKE A TATTERED PAIR OF OLD LADY BLOOMERS PLYWOODIN' ON A CLOTHESLINE

SO CAPT MIKE MADE THE CALL HAS DECIDED TO HANG TUFF AND WAIT FOR IT TO LET UP A BIT.....THANK YOU SOME BOATS DID GO AND BEST OF LUCK TO THEM

I FIRED UP THE NOW NICE & WARM HEMI AND HEADED BACK TO THE CRIB TO MAKE THE PONEYTAIL SOME BREW BEFORE SHE WAKES UP....

IT'S NICE TO SIT AND WATCH THE BUOY REPORTS UPDATE EVERY 40 MINUTES OR SO....AND EVEN NICER THAT WE NEVER HAVE MUCH MORE THAN A 22 MILE RUN MAX TO GO TUNA HUNTING.
