It was so hot that I thought it was wise to take frequent breaks and sit on the porch to cool off - took a break at 10 AM...then another at 10:30 or so...then 10:55....11:15, maybe another at 11:27 or thereabouts...

BEEEYOOOOTIFUL plummage, squire...

However, the best gig had to be the Coastie I know who got assigned to CG Station Castle Hill for the Festival - he spent the day yesterday doing safety boardings and checking out the ....uhhhh...deck hardware....

"Pardon me, ma'am - I don't know if those are approved flotation devices" -

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
