We surfed out of Coho this morning at 8AM. The forecast calls for wind this afternoon so Forney's might not be the right choice for the night. We'll cruise down the backside of the Island looking for less wind.
The forecast:

4:20PM; We entered Forney's Cove and anchored for the night. The wind was light inside the Cove except for a couple afternoon puffs of 20 knots. Outside it looked pretty gnarly as the day ended.
One other boat was anchored with us, a lobster style and crew with crazy foreign accent. Gerard went snorkeling and brought home a couple Calico Bass for a future meal.
Beautiful buddy! I just told my wife that you guys are in my boating area! I have a 34.5' Stamas Express cruiser! That area is the best kept secret in the world! Happy sailing! Regards Ahneema II
