In every form a successful effort both in and offshore. Beautiful, balmy weather in itself made the day spectacular. Crisp light and crystal clarity highlighted every coastal detail both above and below the surface. An afternoon offshore foray was the finishing touch adding color, variety, and quantity to our cumulative score. At the end of our southerly range the trek north, fishing along the way, now begins. The benefits of such beautiful conditions will not be lost on us as we traverse a traditionally rugged stretch of ocean on our way north.
