June 29: Back in the water

It turns out that the predictions for last night's winds were... uh... overblown. But we got some sleep. David did some reconnaissance and found that we missed somewhere between 4000 and 8000 lbs. It's not nothing, but I think the extra rest will stand us in good stead in the coming week or two.

We were out at 8 during a big hold up tide to set the nets and ended up with about 2000 lbs for the tide.

An item for the glossary: a hold up tide is one that doesn't go out very far. If the mean low water mark is the edge of where you'd find water at an average low water, an 8' hold up is when the water would be 8' deep at low water at that same spot.
