very nice Spring Break down at the boat in New Bern this past
week....came home a day early so Me Sails could get his lesson plans in
order for the last chapter of school coming up...is nice that different
states stagger their spring breaks so one place isn't inundated with
tourists at one time...the time shares near the marina werren't nearly
as full as they were the previous week...I think VA has the latest
Spring Break of all the states. I caught a 3 foot shark out on Emerald
Island...and an 8" mullet, which I also threw back...ugly thing...all
anyone was catching was mullet and sharks...and these dumb kids were
surfing right next to the pier...was tempted to grab a shark and take it
down to the beach to show them what they were swimming with! Got some
work doen on the boat and arranged to ahve some work done on the engine
next week since we have a loose motor mount....weather was a bit cool
but getting away was nice...assisted some friends with a few endeavors
they're undertaking and went out for some great food with some great
people...all in all a good week...BTW, those of you who send me jokes
and such on a regular basis: I ahd so much mail in my box that I didn't
read them..sorry...I did read the two meesages that were of an important
informational nature, though...thanks Jeff and Jon...
