Wes, Wayne. I think I might need to re-evaluate my anchorage , like.
drive stakes and chain the pontoon to the ground!


Sounds...kinky...

Great that you got out. *The Grady is calling my name, but it looks

bummed - no boat up here.

We need to get together for that resturant run sometime. *Dinner is on
us.

By the way, the Ranger still there? *The boys haven't been down in a
while - Ryan and wife just had twins and Chris has been mostly on

It's been hot and dry here for the last couple of weeks, but today
we're getting some rain and wind. It cooled things down, but starting
tomorrow we're back on track to hot and dry again for a while. I'll
send some your way. :-)

Me? Went to Kings Canyon and Sequoia Nat'l Parks for a couple days. Rivers
are too high and gnarly for any boating. 103 degrees yesterday in Fresno.
Get home to 65 degree weather. May go halibut fishing this weekend.

Wes, Wayne. I think I might need to re-evaluate my anchorage , like.
drive stakes and chain the pontoon to the ground!

If you were alot closer I'd drop off one of my spare danforths!

They sometimes show up at garage sales at very low prices. I bought
one for the dinghy for something like $5, chain included.

Screw anchors work just fine for protecting it on land.

Now that you mention it, tom. In a way I agree. Screw anchors! where I
go a concrete block on nylon rope works just fine.

I haven't seen much boat stuff at yard sales for quite a while now. Think
people are holding on rather than replacing?
Used to be able to pick up a couple after a nice weekend when we dove the
wrecks on this side ("Lead" and "Dutch" wrecks). One dive we got 2 anchors
and 2 Hawaiian slings, couple grouper and a cobia.
Another dive, got skunked for fish but it was very clear and got to hang
with a manta that was over 10' wide. too cool.

We have seen a couple of big ones go "flying by" down in the Bahamas.
They are very interesting to watch once you get over the initial
surprise.
