We said goodbye to one large group of guests to say hello to a larger group of old and new friends.

The wind has returned but has been refreshing. We are getting our normal tradewinds, making the days feel cooler. It has created enough chop on the water, making it tougher to run across open water, but most of our fishery is still easily accessed.
