Eclipse
Sailed over to Dog Island from Carrabelle Sat night and watched the
eclipse. Even halfway to totality, there were not many stars visible due to being washed out by the moonlight. However, at totality, my 7 yr old daughter exclaimed "I have never seen so many stars" Milky way was very clear and it was a pretty night. Moon got so dark as to be nearly invisible. Unfortunately, my son discovered that my mast step has continued to have problems so I will not be sailing for a couple weeks till I solve it. I have further impetus to solve the dinghy problem as I had to row about 100 yards to the island with my son, back tot eh boat against the wind to get my wife and daughter and then back. Not exhausting, but streneous for me. Then hoisting the hard dinghy up onto deck even with the jib halyard is hard. I talked to another guy with a 30' boat who had an inflatable who was unhappy with it though. Got back to our dock and let my 7 yr old fish and she prompty caught a 14" yellowtail which I couldnt throw back she was so excited. So, I have to pretend to be able to cook fish tonight. About fishing, I have never eaten salt water catfish but the poor ppl who fish from the dock here gladly accept them so i assume they are cooking them. Anybody have experience with this? Not even my brother in law who has eaten stingray has ever eaten salt water catfish. |

Raw yellowtail is great! I suspect that stingray tastes similar to
skate which is punched out of the wing and called Bay Scallops. Not familiar with salt water catfish. Does it go by any other name? Doug s/v Callista "Parallax" wrote in message om...

Does it go by any other name? An urban legend that has been around at least 40 years. I did get some fake scallops once ca 1965, but they couldn't have been skate wings, as anyone who has eaten skate wings will know. Many scumbag fishmongers will call callico scallops "bay scallops." Not at all the same, but they really are scallops. Rodney Myrvaagnes NYC J36 Gjo/a "Curse thee, thou quadrant. No longer will I guide my earthly way by thee." Capt. Ahab |

Rest in peace, "Joos-tan".....\ "I garontee" jay Mon, Nov 10, 2003 Having collected and eaten my fair share of bay scallops, I can easily tell the difference tween them and fakes. Around here where bay scallops are plentiful, the rumor is that sting ray is used for "Ocean scallops". |
