I can get to Wellfleet in two hours from Waltham, so I try to go for at least two weeks in June, then again weekends in September every year.

I feel like I get as much time in as I need.

I have lots of good friends at the Cape, some are gypsies, like marky, the Kulis brothers, and me, really.

Long term vacationers, like 5/0 and TTB, but I never see those guys, and fun residents like Guppy, Bruce, and Rich Wood.

My problem is that the fishing heats up on the North Shore at the end of June, and I can be there in 45 minutes. Makes for easy day fishing.

Maybe Mom and Dad will be selling the Bomba compound in two years and make the move full time. If that happens, the die will be cast. I will spend way more time down there, and find a way to parlay a little bigger boat.
You just hit the nail on the head why I stopped going south in summer/late spring.... it seemed every time we spent the weekend at the cape.... the fishing here got white hot...so now a days I fish @ PI and vacation in Maine...

A good run is better than a bad stand!
