It's kind of a Math thing. Once you leave the dock in an ASA tourney, you are not allowed to touch land, or another vessel until you hit the weigh in. Is it possible for a 21 foot Bayliner to travel from Block Island waters through the canal, then up to Boston without re-fueling while traveling in a solid 5-7+ foot chop, where a boat like that would only be able to produce a forward motion of about 9 knots (remember, traveling in big seas uses more fuel). I assume, but I am not sure, that a boat like that would hold about 70-75 gallons of fuel. This is also not accounting for the fuel used to get to his fishing spot etc..
If you have said "yes that's possible" to all of the above, try doing this without getting any salt on your boat and coming in bone dry.
Skip is an excellent fisherman and has proven time and time again that he can catch big fish, I just don't know how he made that trip possible.
