We originally had a crew scheduled to go with Bill on his boat but at the last minute one of the guys got sick. Another boat alongside his only had a father son team and was looking for a crew. The boat was owned by Captain Jorge, a great guy and friends of Bill. The boat was a 38 Harris handled the seas ok, wet boat but a little quicker with twin screws.

awesome fish, I was at the tails Saturday. Only Mahi for us, couldnt buy a YT if we wanted. We wanted to head to W Atlantis but this was our first trip in my friends boat and didnt know how much we could push it ( we were easily the smallest boat in the mix and a center console at that) got home with just under 1/2 tank of gas and now we know how far we can push it.

I cant wait to get out there again

What boat were you in? Saw a guy in a a center console carrying what looked like empty fuel tanks on his t-top.
