Late Summer,Early Fall Warnings

   The heavy summer rains continue;the rivers are depositing enormous amounts of dangerous items into the Pacific Ocean.Keep your eyes to the prow;look for lengths of all types of line,sections of gill nets,branches and most importantly entire giant trees.This time of year also finds many illegal floating long lines in place;they will foul on your underwater gear and most certainly be spun up on your propeller....a living nightmare I assure you.Look for floating soda bottles on the water;they are the buoys for the long lines.Usually they are about 15 feet apart and some of the long lines are 2 miles long.
   Please be careful also regarding the weather;it is unpredictable.You may be enjoying a lovely summer day and find yourself in 50 knots of wind 30 minutes later.The weather services cannot predict these storms as they are local and usually do not last for an extended length of time.Hurricanes are usually reported but be cautious as they may form in your area and be very problematical in a very short period of time.They have no friends.
    Have a wonderful weekend..stay Beautiful
