I have to admit. When I bought my boat I kept saying that I would never stop surf fishing. I could never give up that feeling of swimming out to my rocks in solitude, the surf is theraputic, the feelin of battling a fish while taking waves in the chest, blah blah. Ive been surf fishing once since I bought the boat in early august.

I bought the boat when I got diagnosed with cancer. I couldn't hop rocks anymore due to the Chemo and radiation treatments.
Now it's 6 years. The cancer goes away for a couple of years and then re-occurs but I am back in the surf, at least in the Fall. I won't let them do chemo anymore. Didn't work the first time so I don't think it will work now. All I know is I still love the feel of waves hitting me.

No boat, back in the suds.
