Best shot for OMT is Saturday AM, which is still a +1.4 feet.

We may have to actually dive. Biggest factor will be waves and visibility.

If it is calm and clear (relatively speaking) diving is actually more fun and easy pickings.

Rick and I paddled out to the point on the last trip on a calm morning.

You could see the abs 6-12 feet down while paddling on the surface

Didn't even need the ab iron, Just dive down and grab them.

Any other recruits? Should I invite Rick? He has an ab-slicer you know.

I hate driving up on a Friday late. Particularly a holiday weekend. I might go up earlier in the day (before noon). - mw

Was thinking about driving up Friday night…is there a low tide this weekend? - Z

I thought you'd never ask.

I'm in. When are you going to be up there?
