If it is much past Don's house I want the under. Whose's house?? You are just entering real 'big water' when you get up here. All kinds of characters set off from here & Newfoundland...few make it all the way across. |

The boat itself, though, is sort of interesting as a bay boat, but it looks like it might pound like crazy in a chop. |

Running across the grass flats like that means he doesn't care that much about the fish. I still think a USCG rescue swimmer is in these guys' future Can they "prepay" for that service? It's going to take far less than a "perfect storm" to flip that boat out in the Atlantic.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Tell us all about it, I mean, your dad did it, right? |
