Small craft 'advisory' be damned!
Just got back from a morning feeeeeshing trip down to Solomons. The mouth of the Pax was choppy, but manageable, but the fishing there sucked, so I came back up to the Benedict area and fished north of the bridge there. The Pax up here is never very rough. Caught a few, enough for dinner, and found a farmer at his stand selling the last of this year's fresh corn on the way back. Didn't see one BrandGanks Trawler RV wallowing in the waves. |

Physically, I can't imagine a BrandGanks wallowing any more than a small boat with a 21 degree deadrise. How would that work, or did you just forget the word "while" in front of the word wallowing? Trust me, this is a freindly poke, replacing the really mean one I had started;) "Capitalism gives everyone a stake in society" Jim Michaels 1921-2007 |

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. |

Let me know where you can charter a GB for $250/day. That's more like the hourly rate. Heck, I don't think you can rent a little runabout for $250 a day. |

Gee, I spent 30 seconds looking and found a bunch of GB's renting out for about $1800- $1995 a week, and about $300 an hour. I'm sure I could find some in the $250 price range if I wanted to waste time on a search. Let's see... 7 x 24 = 168 hours. $1800 / 168 = $10.71 an hour. Cut back on the enzyte, WayneBob. |
