Overnight trip this weekend

We plan to leave Saturday at 17:00 from Aberdeen and fish into sundown on our way to the rigs.  We should arrive around 23:00 or so and tie off for a bit of jigging for those that are interested.  I'll also take live bait. 

Sunday we'll troll the area around the rigs and then about noon troll back toward Hong Kong .  By around 15:00 we'll pickup lines and head in for a return to Aberdeen by around 18:00 Sunday evening.

We have 5 confirmed now and I'll take 1-2 more. 

We'll need to keep our eye on the weather:
Latest:
     Outlook for the next 48 hours
     South to southeasterly winds of force 4 to 5, becoming southwesterly winds of
     force 5 to 6 later. Isolated squally showers and thunderstorms.

I don't usually go if blowing a steady 5 (will go in winds of force 4-5) or higher.
