That was in the morning buy lunch it had changed and as headed back in, I had a 2 metre swell going my direction with north easterly winds at about 35-40 k's and waves.

I got back to the boat ramp and waited a while and thought the winds died down, headed back out only to cop a wave over the boat as soon as I got out of the habour, so I turned around and put the boat back on the trailer.
Bugger. No fish then? I'm looking to head down on Friday arvo for another crack if the weather holds up

It was more about getting sea experience than catching fish.

Gotta take the motor back to Warnabool next week, for an upgrade, so I'll use that as an excuse to launch at Port Fairy and give that another go.
