Definitely the right call...would suck to have a bunch of veterans come and have a bad experience and never come back again...

I'm still trying to figure out where I'm going to fish this weekend, no matter where you go it'll be blowing 100mph with gust to 1000mph

Jorge just load up all the gear and take Tony and just drive over to BUSY BEE. That will make it seem like you were out on your usual fishing trip.

Not to second guess, because the forecast looked terrible. But as I sit outside in Bay Park the weather has definitely skirted the bay. The wind is nowhere near 25mph. I think that you all made the right decision it just sucks that the weather was actually pretty decent.

I went down to OEX about 6 am. At that time, the wind was blowing at least 20 mph. Hung around till 8:30 and the wind did drop to around 10 mph. While doable for most of us, I would not take anyone that was not an experienced kayaker out in those conditions, just not worth someone getting in trouble or even drowning. We have to look at the big picture when we host events and make safety our top priority. Thanks to all who offered to help and we will do it again next month on 3/28.

I was on Fiesta Island with my dog, there were a couple of kayakers out and didn't look like they were having fun. Good call
