Sure, the launch looks GREAT right now, but take a look at the wind:

I knew the wind was coming in today, but not as early as it did. In other words, don't believe the weatherman 100%, give some wiggle room.

As I went out at 0'dark thirty, it was beautiful, pretty calm, a dry launch. Coming in early and the wind started picking up. By the time I got to the launch, the wind was at 25-30mph. It was a tough pedal with the offshore wind and waves. Without the Hobie, might have been in Catalina by now.

Talking to the lifeguard at the launch, they halted all launches, and we're in the middle of rescuing three swimmers, and two recreational Kayaks.
