http://www.hmbfishing.comOur private charter was graced with great travelling weather in the morning, but things changed by the afternoon. The ride home was met with lots of wind but thankfully still not much swell. Based on that wind and the forecast for the ocean for Thursday, though, we have decided to cancel Thursday's trip.

So, this time we'll throw in the towel and wait to go back out when the ocean calms back down on Saturday.
