Kenny, you nailed it... Caddyshack.
In my weekend report I posted a brief story of a big pleasure boat that plowed through a very congested traffic area and literally almost buried small craft. It was exactly like Rodney Dangerfield in Caddyshack... he was just oblivious up there at the helm, just staring straight ahead with tunnel vision.
I really think I'm going to get on and off the water early... it doesn't seem like things get really bad until close to noon. If I launch at 5am, pull out by 11, that's a good stretch without too many headaches. That's generally the best time to fish during the summer anyways.
On the plus side, I've now seen most of the conditions I'll have to face in the Harbor and my boat and I handled it just fine. From high winds, to heavy traffic. Don't get me wrong, I have immense respect for the sea. I just mean that I've been out in as bad of conditions as I care to and the boat handled them without problems. Any worse and I wouldn't be out anyway.
I had some doubts about the size of boat I was getting and how limited I might be, but I'm absolutely thrilled with it.
