Jimmy's bar for handling rough conditions were pushed a few notches up. Well done.

Thanks Mike, it was a lot of work and a huge test of my patients and abilities. I honestly feel like I can take on anything after that. I'm alive, I was able to fish a little in the bay, and I'll be out there again sometime soon. I however know better about when to take on the Jetty mouth, and when the weather is bad, that's not a good time.
