I find these last two posts compelling. Maybe it's a little like backpacking into highcountry vs taking your four wheel rig and car camping.

Nothing wrong with car camping, as I like to do that, too. But backpacking into the high country has its own unique rewards.

Ran into some tech difficulties. Good luck guys that get out this weekend. Looks like next week for me.

I will be out looking for another, larger model, of the elusive BFT! Absolutely Epic! Launching Mariners point stupid/dumb early, heading a bit further out... N 9 between 9-12 miles is the plan. Using sail on Outback, fish the day away, return after dark.

Went out about 6-7 miles nw of MB and saw one boil for about 10 seconds. Something took a swing and miss at my trolled sardine just before the fish popped up. I got there by following a pod of whales and a few birds for a while that eventually took me to where the mass of birds and fish made their appearance. It got kind of snotty about 1 and I looked around and couldn't find anything too compelling so I started sailing back. The tandem island was killer for trolling under sail and I don't think I would have been very happy out that far in a regular yak especially with the big following wind swell on the way in. I will try again probably next week if the weather looks good.
