Saturday November 14, 2020 - by Kate Sutherland November 18, 2020
The forecast for the weekend changed a number of times in the week leading up to our trip on Saturday! At one point, I wan't sure we would make it on either day. Things calmed down, though and after a strong front moved through on Friday we had calm enough seas to head offshore on […]
