oh gosh...we're arriving tomorrow afternoon!

on one hand I'm glad it won't be raining, on the other I'm worried Mr. Otter won't get much good snorkeling in. :(

Guess we'll just have to start with the south shore and pray.

The wave height has been topping over 13' today on the 41043 buoy - That must have been quite some storm up north to send us such a strong and sustained surge.There are some nice Hawksnest pics on the Iphone report by gymnastika .
Joshie - I do not know how to put the wave graph into this reply - it is impressive however - Thanks.

Looks like things are all downhill, in a good way! Waves down to 5 ft from a high 13.5 ft!
