I saw that boat the last time I was down there cruising around in the
area of Bomb Island - very nice boat. *Distinctive - can't miss what
it is.

Great that you got out. *The Grady is calling my name, but it looks
like we won't get down there until late July at the earliest. *I'm
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
patrol and school plus the new baby. *:)

Yep... I put my eyes on it again last weekend. This time of year I'm
down there at least 2-3 times a week, so won't go missing for long
without me noticing. :-)

Make sure to let me know when you'll be here.

Excellent, guys! I was thinking of going this evening, but if you type
in zip code 62824 to a live weather feed you'll find out why I'm not
going to make it. We're right in the middle of getting a good raw
shelacing storm. Possible tornado warnings etc.

Best to increase the scope ratio on that concrete block ground tackle
of yours. :-)

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

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.

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.

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.

Hey...you don't live far from my first college girlfriend, a saucy gal
who married another college friend and moved, of all places, to
Hannibal, MO. They're still there. Talk about small towns...wow...but it
has its charm.
