Unhappy What a way to end the season

Went out Saturday and headed for a couple of cod spots. Found plenty of dogfish still (that pessed me off). I had to keep moving to catch a cod here and ther before the dogs would find me again. They found me again (pessed me off). Finally got to a good area with only a few dogs and started catching fish, but many just too short.. Waiting for the biggins. I wanted to pull anchor to move a hundred feet or so just onto a bump. But, the anchor was stuck on a pot line. (pessed me off). This was the pot line from hell, i have never hooked into one that would not come up (till now).. I tried everything to free it, and the struggle killed my windlass. (peesed me off). After almost an hour of this I had to cut the line and say goodbye to my anchor and rode. (pessed me off). That also ended the fishing because it was blowing to hard to drift. I went home with barely any fish for the table. (pessed me off)
SO,,,seeing how I was not going to get the windlass fixed quick enough and get a new anchor, chain and all, I decided to pull her on Sunday. Had some help at the marina ramp from some 'dockmates", but would'nt you know it, while cranking her onto the trailer, the power winch died. Luckily I got the boat all the way on, but it is basically dead. (pessed me off). SO the boat is home safely, but i now have two major winter projects as well as all the other little projects on my list.
Nice end to my season !!!!!!!
Other than that the weekend was great !!!!!!!!---NOT !!!!!---

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.
