Got out Saturday. Boat ran fine; new toys worked great. Very windy in pm. Nothing bouncing jigs and trolling, though.

Oh, and I left my trusty surf bag on the dock and someone took it. It was only there for about ten minutes, too. I figure about $200 worth of tins, plugs, jigs, knife, ss pliers, and my collection of Spro swivels. I'm pissed!

Wrapped my line around my prop shaft--just one wrap--about 30 feet from beach at E. Matunuk. Hastily threw out anchor, set it, shut down and raised motor, removed line, and ended up in about two feet of water, but in rough surf. Just as I got the line off, the anchor pulled out. Thank Gawd for the Suzi's quick starts and motor tilt!!! I was taking rollers abeam, bouncing the bottom in the sand, but she got me outta there. Coulda been a lot worse but the old heartrate got up there for a while!
