No, but 20 knot winds is no fun at all.

Not ready to become a statistic.

It looks like there will be a significant exchange between tides, on Sunday, at least according to the table for the Aucilla. A low of -1.1(6:30am) to 3.0 high(1:15pm). The float'n dock at the lighthouse pool may not be float'n around 6:30.

The wind is forcasted to shift from the Northeast to the East on Sunday and lay down a little bit (20 knots down to 10 to 15 knots on Sunday) so that may help a little bit. The rivers (Aucilla, Econ) will be a little bit skinny on both Saturday and Sunday mornings but should have pretty good water mid day. Saint Marks up river should be OK either way provided there won't be a crowd.

Well, It looks like Saturday up the river to me since I need to get my trailer Sat. morning. Wife is doing a run with her running group to St. Marks so we are both going up the river, have room for another couple if anyone is interested, we will be leaving Shell Island about 11 am and plan to fish for about 3 or 4 hours up river catching shorts and having a good time. If anyone needs a crew member for Sunday I might be interested...............

Chalk and I are headed up the river from the fort in the morning. Probably put in about 9 and fish the incoming tide. We'll be in my green jon boat with a 25 evenrude on it.
