Saturday, May 27, 2023    Slept well and feeling much better today. My decision not to use the under quilt was met with error at 0200. I was cold, got up, installed quilt and slept until 0700.    Coffee and oatmeal. Going to check out the lee side of Oyster as casting cranks from shore has proven unproductive. Wind 11mph, gusts to 22mph. Happy with the Garmin purchase i.e., weather and nightly coms.    I'm thinking Proverbs this morning.    Wind has been blowing whitecaps all day. I'm over 60, I'm solo and I'm shore fishing. Almost caught a bluegill.    Flies are intense even in this wind. Easy enough to swat, but they're everywhere. Hoping the wind lets up in the next hour or so. I'd really like to try out my new fry pan.
