Well I'm sorry you wiped out, but it sounds like you fared well overall. Your'e safe and that is the main thing. I have tried twice launching at LJ. The first time was better than the second, but I got wet both times. I have yet to try again. It's been about a month since I've tried. Tryin to work up the courage. The good thing was my stuff seemed to be well secured, the only thing I lost was a box full of heavy and surface irons. I guess I better get out there. I WILL NOT catch a YT in the bay, that is for sure! Good luck to you and go get em!
