Deal with it, as soon as Lake Eerie warms up 6 or 7 months from now. Cleveland was on the 6 o'clock news tonight and the weather looked miserable, nice medical center though. Waine, you misspelled Lake Erie. Just a heads up. --Vic |

I swear, it's about the only time I've ever been surprized by the size and depth of a wake - had just about enough time to quarter the three waves or I would have taken a ton of water aboard the Ranger. Talk about a wake. :) DEAl with IT |

Harry, Do you read what SWS said to Charile and BAR when they were accusing you of not owning a lobster boat? It is just as boring and stupid when you do the same thing. Sorry, Reggie, but I don't pay much attention to the crap posted here by the likes of BAR and Charile. In fact, I don't even recall a Charile. Perhaps you like reading the posts of idiots on a regular basis, but I do not. There's no reason to believe you have a boat. Sorry you missed SWS's post, he was basically saying that the subject of who has a boat and who makes up bs really is stupid, and gets real old real fast, that only an idiot would keep it up. I am paraphrasing, so it isn't exactly the way he said it, but I think that was the jest of it. |

Like e e cummings? |

I've never seen one at that speed in the areas of the Bay I frequent, usually from the Pax River north to the Baltimore area. We clocked a car carrier at 16 or 17 up that way in the main channel, still moving right along for a big hulk. |

So, what's the approximate bill on that dropped tranny? Probably find out by mid week. It won't be cheap, but better than worrying about it on the way home. |

Talk about a wake. :) They are impressive, unusual shape also. Very sharp resulting in a steep wave front very close together - always come in sets of three. It's like dropping off the edge of a cliff. |
