Weather channel calls for winds 15 to 20 and 90% chance of rain, got to see two nice cats launched at the Harborage while working on my boat today, if the bay kicks up like last Sunday, watch out !

South winds 5-10 mph, possible showers and a slight chop. Winds will increase in the afternoon to 15 mph from the south west. Not so terrible for some fast boating. Calm and 83f is terribly dull.

I believe you will find many out for a 'fun run' today so for those interested keep your eyes out at the Vinnoy Marina and anywhere near the Gandy Blvd or Sunshine Skyway.
