some numbers

A friend said I had a bad forecast for the walkabout, which starts tomorrow.  Maybe we were looking at different forecasts, maybe we were looking at the same forecast.  Maybe he saw a 20% chance of rain, and I saw an 80% chance of no rain.  We'll see.


This trip on the bay is a little earlier than usual so I checked the fishing regulations.  We are in the spring "trophy" season for stripers.  That means the minimum size for keeping stripers is 28 inches.  That is a big fish.  Catching too big or too many fish has never been a problem for me.  I'll settle for some nice tailor bluefish.

I do hope to visit Cod Harbor, above, at Tangier Island.  Winds look good.  I hope to be on the road by 6 a.m. tomorrow.

Enjoy Steve! We hope the stories, here in the South are becoming cold and without Sun, so it does well to the soul read on sunny days!Best regards.

Steve - checking your Spot page. I see you found yourself a nice cozy little cove off the northeast corner of the Martin National Wildlife Refuge. That is very cool technology - here I am, sitting at my desk in Short Pump, seeing where you are out there up in the Bay. Today was pretty dreary, cold and wet around here - I'm hoping it wasn't quite so miserable for you out there. All the same, I am to an extent thinking how very cool it would be to be out there having that adventure even with this weather.
