Ever think about taking the lap top out on the other tuna boat?


You talking about the kayak? It's still up on the other boat in Scituate.
I plan to bring it down here to Kingman next time I come down. It would
work fine in the harbor and mooring areas as Kingman has an excellent WiFi
system. I haven't tried it in Scituate yet.

We are going to do a short haul on the Navigator the week after next and
powerwash, touch up the bottom paint as required, change the zincs and do a
general inspection. As a precaution we are also going to load up the fuel
with extra biocide and then polish it. I've got fuel that is probably 4
years old. After that, I plan to start using the Navigator again. Got the
itch.


I totally understand the "itch". I really miss the Contender for
those blue water runs - in particular for years like this one seems to
be. I haven't had a bad day fishing yet.

I'm still thinking of a Grand Banks - something along the lines of
Pangea for just the two of us. Or maybe a Sundowner like Doug King
has only a little bigger.

I just can't bring myself to accept the whole slow boat to China
concept.

Well hey, if you plan on making a day trip, you have my email address.
