Our group found the conditions challenging at times _ high waves, strong winds and occasional driving rain.

The magazine is not of much use anyway. Usually comes a week into the month, has many inaccuracies for sports and movies which are programmed about three years in advance. True is the only game in town, so ..... But that may be changing.
