Didn't see one BrandGanks Trawler RV wallowing in the waves. You should have been out on the bay Harry, it was your kind of day out there - small craft advisories, winds WNW at 20 to 25, seas 2 to 3 feet, spray flying everywhere, just your kind of day. We left Oxford on the eastern shore and made our way down bay to [classified] with no wallowing what so ever. There's just nothing like active fin stabilizers to get the job done in style. I'm surprised you didn't get that option. There weren't too many other folks out the Sailboats: 6 or 7, all over 40 ft and heavily reefed Lobsta Boats: zero Crab Boats: 1 LTPs: zero Freighters: 1 Tug boats: 2 Except for the freighter, we were the fastest boat out there. |

There might have been a few LTP's out there, but you couldn't see them, they 3/4 underwater. I hope they wore their boots. |

We went to the Abacos last year in case you missed it: http://tinyurl.com/2w7m7b Coming attractions, Key West in January, hopefully a trip to the Exumas later on. We'll keep you posted. You should bring your Parker down the the Bahamas some time. The residents there do some amazing things in small boats. |

If we travel to a distant place where having a boat would be fun, we rent or charter one. No muss, no fuss, and when you return it, someone else cleans it out. If you want a slow-moving GB RV, you can rent one from $150 to $250 a day. We're going to San Diego in February. Already chartered a boat for two days during the week we'll be there. |
