I like this a lot better than that wavewalker thing you were looking at. SUP is getting popular, saw a whole bunch of people doing it in Mission Bay a couple of months ago... perfect for the SPIT

As it is in Santo Tomas, that's why I asked if there was a site where I could get info for there, or closer. The fact that it looks like it's going to lay down some in PP for a few day's is not a bad sign though.

Thanks Robert, I don't know why I didn't think of that, maybe because I haven't been offshore in awhile? You must be a member, I only get two day's.
OK, it looks very much like what's going to happen in PP, with Monday and Tuesday looking very good. Don's having a little trouble getting traction, but I think we should be on our way in time to hit what appears to be a window of opportunity.

Not sure, hopefully early tomorrow. Don has a few loose ends to attend to, and one and not the least is to make sure some problems he found on his outboard engines is fixed properly.
