BLUEWATER WATERFRONT GRILL LUNCH CRUISE

Update 10/11/18 17:26 pm ********

 Originator: Jim Hutchison

Dear Captains and Crews,
At the moment, all looks worthy of proceeding with our Lunch Cruise to Bluewater Waterfront Grill this Saturday, October 13th.
This day was selected, because it allows us to travel up the Cape Fear River on the incoming tide, arrive at Snow's Cut about 1.5 hours before High Tide and travel down the Cape Fear River after lunch on the outgoing tide.
The seas at the mouth of the Cape Fear River on Saturday are forecasted as 2-foot wave height, 7-seconds apart, with 8kt winds from the east.
The weather forecast for Saturday for Holden Beach, Southport and Wrightsville Beach is mainly sunny, highs in the mid-70s with 0% chance of rain.
I just confirmed with Bluewater Waterfront Grill our reservation for 23 people for lunch at 1230.
At the moment we have 4 boats captained by Jim Hutchison (Cruise Captain), Bob Bricker, John Cardwell and Richard Smith carrying a total of 21 people.
Two SRSPS Members are driving to Bluewater Waterfront Grill making a total of 23 for lunch.
We will depart from the SeaScape Marina at 1030 sharp, so please inform your crews to be aboard your boat and ready to launch by 1030.
Captains are asked to directly inform their crews about the current status explained here.
Additional details are on the srsps.org website under CRUISES and in the September issue of the Bosun's Pipe.
If there are any operational changes to the above, I will communicate those directly to the Captains by Friday evening.
Jim Hutchison
