Sunny. NW 10-20 kts.

Not a lot of energy today. I slept on the boat last night but Tania called for help at 3 a.m. after Havana started puking and Rio and India got scared.

Decided to take a run out to the fishing grounds despite the Strong Wind Warning posted by Environment Canada.

Strong North Westerlies combined with a strong Ebb tide produced 3-5 foot chop. Deck was awash with spray as Trouper II pitched and yawed under power. In retrospect I should have shot video as it was the roughest conditions I have yet been out in.

I'll make sure I get it on video next time. This summer continues to be a LOT more windy than last year. Global warming?
