This opportunity is killing me as I know all of the guys incuding the guest chef and would die to fish with you guys-especially Pat- but the week before I am going to another island and will be fishing all night for 5 straight nights. That usually takes me 3 weeks to recover. Also don't think I could take that Wednesday -Friday off the week after a week off.
I posted this story before so I will not go into details but I was on the same bar and almost got swept off back in the 80s. Took me a good 20 minutes using a big heavy rod as a wading staff to get back in. Very dangerous place and quite a few good surfmen have died there. 5 knt current sweeping across a bar of soft sand with deep water on both sides. The bar tend to slide away from you.

Can be a VERY dangerous place... Not for the inexperienced.... or when its foggy....
