the wind wasn't too bad,only about force 8,I have been out in worse,one good thing about around here is that you can find a spot that is sheltered from the wind no matter what direction it is blowing from

the doggies are great for saving the blank,not sure will I fish the comp yet,depends on the mood on the morning
