Newport Ri 2013 Squid Season

[greg ct]

I don't think you will see any boats at PJ tonight:

 

<b>Tonight: </b>NW winds 15 to 20 kt...increasing to 20 to 25 kt after midnight. Gusts up to 35 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft. A chance of showers.

 

I doubt even the francis fleet will sail into that mess.  Even the harbor will be snotty.  If the squid were there, some of the bigger boats would go, but again, with the recent lack of tender vittles most will stay put.

 

But at least the weather is more typical for the spring squid run.  Usually this is the pattern when they run.  Getting the boat out to chase them is always a challenge.  MAybe that is a good sign......
