I've entered the ocean this way before and I must agree with mikejoe, depending on what the tide is doing when you enter/exit, it's like one giant rip current. Stay on your toes as you head out :wink:

I've been lurking here about 2 weeks and haven't seen any of that at all. Refreshing change. Might hang around a bit....thanks again, Mike.

Thanks all for the warm welcome. I havnt heard any Mac bashing yet, however on the way out of the marina there were 3 guys on the dock, the first one yelled Ill trade you a 77 Pinto for that, I replyed I dont think Pintos will float however the other two were asking me serious questions about the boat on the way out as we crusied by. I did enjoy answering them, the first guy just shut up, lol.
