Rambling on my first season from a boat

[Fish On]

Nice read. My wife contracted lyme but fortunately the classic bulls eye sent us to a good doctor that got her on the right antibiotics. Genetically her entire family has major sea sickness so boating will not be part of our lives together, but she enjoys the stories that I can share.

Wish you the best with your time on the water. It's true that finding fish in a boat is not so easy but the experience leads to improved success over time. I hope you get to spend many great days on your new boat with your wife.

Thanks for sharing a great story.

Very similar to mine in many ways. Wife and I have enjoyed boating in Upstate NY for 25 years, staying all weekends in the Summer on the boat on Lake Ontario and St. Lawrence river. Bought a "Live aboard" we thought we could never afford, hung onto it for 18 years, loved every minute with it. Then moved to CT where summer dockage was out of sight, sold it, have a young boy who is active in a lot of things that break up weekends, so I have learned surf fishing, and use a small tin boat. Soon we will get another though, have fallen in love with Rhode Island and Block. Want another live-aboard, and just take the hit financially, for the quality time together. My wife loves to operate big boats, and was the only gal in the marina that could park a twin screw. You clearly have your priorities straight...enjoy!
