Dosen't look that bad, although sticking out of the window like that
makes for a few barked shins from time to time.

Not bad at all.


I can't believe all the tuna being caught in Cape Cod Bay this year.
Usually, it's a rare occurrence when a boat comes in with one and it usually
does not start until mid-August.
This year the fishing types have been getting 150-175 lb "footballs" on a
daily basis and have been since the beginning of June. Global warming?

I lost my lust for general fishing (cod, stripers, blues, etc.) but going
after tuna is still a thrill. The GB has the right speed, but there would
be no way to land one unless I hauled it aboard with the mast and boom.
The Navigator would actually not be bad as a tuna boat. It has a huge
molded swim platform and cockpit and a "tuna" door built into the transom.
I'd have to get one of those giant coolers to carry the ice and catch
though.

I am thinking maybe of bringing it up to Scituate for a week or two, put it
on a mooring and give the tuna fishing a try again. I'd have to get the
angler's permit renewed though but if I remember correctly, they will fax or
e-mail it to you the same day you submit the paperwork which also can be
done electronically.
