The one, the only...
Blooocrab!!!
Yup, Gilly won the 20x20 matted and framed digitally remastered print of the 1881 Graves Point Fishing Club (it's beautiful, I framed it in a blonde walnut burl). I was raffling it off as a donation from my new company
The Angler's Art to benefit the NCSWFC's Children's Fishing Derby and hopefully the establishment of a shoreline access defense fund to make sure that public access is maintained in every spot we have in Newport County. The pressure is on right now and we all need to get more proactive, there's more than one spot on the Island in serious jeopardy of being closed off to us all - and our kids - in the future.
That would be a damned shame, the way I see it.
Anyway, congratulations Gilly - it'll be perfect for that new home you're building for you and the future Mrs. Bloocrab. I hope it will give ya years of enjoyment for the both of you and any 'little bloocrabs' that may come along

and make ya think good thoughts on cold winter nites.
I couldn't be happier for ya, pal - I wish everyone who was generous enough to toss in a coupla bucks could have won. But it's probably not the last raffle we're gonna do, either, so there's always next time.
My thanks to all of you who donated to a good cause.
