if you fish after night in galveston bay, make sure you have your nav

amazing how many folks don't use 'em after dark...

Um...what?

I could not have said it better. ;-)

boats...nav lights...

confusion

yeah...exactly the issue...

What you are saying, in effect, is that there are so many boats
running around Galveston Bay, at night, without running lights that
the Coasties have to do "special enforcement'?

Unbelievable if it's true.

I bet they feel the same way about floatation devices. ;-)

True story...........the owner of a go fast boat (Bubba) docked on Galveston
Bay wanted to show it off. The boat was fast and had the required gun rack
and beer coolers. It was also one of the first boats equiped with a black
box that recorded everything said on the boat.

Sadly, the boat was found sunk in 30 feet of water just weeks after Bubba
purchased it.

The CG successfully recovered the black box. Last words spoken were
Bubba's: "Hold my beer and watch what I can do". ;-)

Galveston Bay. ROTF!
