If you went boating on the 4th. We did, but no fishing yesterday, simply
a cruise with friends to a nice beachfront and enjoyed a day on the water. Cheers to all. |

My parents live on Pine Island. It used to be a nice quiet, desolate
place. Fishing was good as were the crabbing and lots of open beached on the outer islands. John "DownTime" wrote in message . .. wrote: There are a few of us around here. I am in Estero and NYOB is in Naples. We have a couple other SW Fla guys around I recall a few chats/posts with NYOB, we are in Cape Coral. Most our fishing and general boating is Pine Island Sound and Matlacha, with the occasional trip to the Florida Keys. |

I played in a CW band for 2 hrs, at our county seat park, and ran sound for another couple hr.s, then watched the fireworks. |

Harry, you have a point there, because onn the 4th of July, at Carlyle Lake (my favorite place) the Water Conservation Dept, (complete with County Deputies on board) is out checking boats, and it's interesting how many boats,they actually do pull in with someone clapped in cuffs. |

They usually don't mind if there is somebody sober to "pilot" the boat, but when you have a guy with a couple of his buddies all flying three sheets, then somethings going to get "interesting" |

Well I had a miserable time in Baltimore. Listened to my 18-year old son and
spent 6-hours in 30-40 Kn winds and torrential rain with fireworks delayed 30-minutes. Just to make it interesting my anchor wouldn't hold in the inner harbor and I had to move once every 30-minutes - the chap behind me generally getting concerned. Like everything in the universe - that that doesn't kill one makes ones stronger. However, I still blame my son and my stupidity. Hope everybody else had fun - I simply learnt not to do that again!

I took off all week and we spent a total of 4 days on the boat during that time. I spent another day working on it installing the 2nd battery and switch. We stayed off the water on the 4th mainly because of the unsettled weather. We also are not on the water today as my son took the boat out with a couple of his buddies but will most likely head up to Kelley's Island tomorrow for some swimming and then perch dinner at the Village Pump. My son joined us on the boat this past Thursday. After we anchored and were in the water at our favorite swimming hole I told him that the boat will be his when he graduates from USMC boot camp and is able to physically take possession of it. He was pretty happy with that news as he loves the water and boating. ;-) |
