[fishing bum wannabe]

Got lots of pics, both stranded on the island and awash after being towed in.

Slip,

Thanks for the condolences. Fortunately my 11 year old backed out at the last minute on this trip, and I was solo. I have been in contact with my insurance company and adjuster, and should have a settlement by the end of the week. At that point I will be disposing of the hull and motor. For the balance of the season, whats left of it, I will be anoying fish in the Canal and Sandwich beaches. Then we will see wether I go back to being a boat sissy or wether I become a sand sissy. The Canal is nice, but landing a fish there can be a life threatening experince. I've got to add golf cleats or something to the bottom of my boots if I continue to fish the Canal.

Got sawzall. Looks like a ballbusting job though.

By the way, if you knew where my boat was stranded, you now know one of my favorite fishing spots in the Elizabeths. If you can't move a fish in that cove, you are going to have a slow day no matter where you fish in the Elizabeths.
