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.

Quite frankly, it is my opinion that in regurads to LTP's, either they
were there before things kicked up, or they weren't really there at
all

They would have needed a periscope and scuba gear.

Yeah, it is much more fun to fish 15 min from your launch ramp, and then
float fish for another 15 min.

Actually not. We went to the Abacos last year in case you missed it:

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.

We'll work on finding some new and interesting places for you, and go
boldly where no LTP has gone before...

No need for that. 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.
