SUMMARY : |
It was real hard to see my last midweek trip of the season come to a close, but with the
sun setting at about 7:30 there just isn't enough daylight to continue. In fact, overall,
there aren't that many trips left in the 2005 season. Drifting weightless was tough tonight
with the wind pulling on the line and making it difficult to feel the pickup. Hurricane Ophelia
is just off the Carolinas right now and looks to put the kabosh on any weekend plans.
