The tides are not good, a 13-foot change with the low of –1 at 12:40 PM Saturday afternoon. Southworth beach is a slippery slimy long walk at a -1 low tide. (Been there done that). I (Phil) might leave Friday night to, a) get an extra night on the island, and b) avoid the rush in the mush Saturday. Lets talk Jim into launching early Saturday, say at 9:00 AM from Southworth and coming around the west side of the island to avoid the rush of the flood tide at the south east point of the island. Yeah that’s the ticket!
