Re: Took the boat out Saturday...
Saturday morning my wife and I took off for the Chesapeake bay Bridge tunnel; it grew rough (tropical storm passing by) so we went back across to a quiet river, then the wind laid down and back out to the harbor, fishing, cruising, watching boats and ships and stuff. Saw a submarine going out. Ran about 80 miles according to the odometer. So even though the fish didn't cooperate, the boat ran great; no equipment failure; beverages stayed cool. Weather was in the 80's with a nice breeze (well OK al little too "nice" at one point but we needed to see how the boat handled swells and chop.)
So even though this forum is a great place to discuss problems, thanks, Chris, for reminding us what it's about!
