If you stay in the Patuxent River most of the time. Most of the boats
fishing mid-Chesapeake Bay are a good bit more substantial.


Bull****.

You must be fishing either in "De Nile" or on the fairest of fair
weather days. Last September and October we were seeing boats that
were mostly in the 30 to 40 ft range, with a few hardy souls in 24
footers - nothing smaller when the wind is blowing.


Can you get out in the middle of bay in less than 15 min?

Harry never goes farther than 15 minutes from the ramp. The waves might
pick up.

I put about 30 hours on my new Parker's engine before the season ended,
and burned about 55 gallons of gasoline in the process, according to
the flow meter. How much gas did you burn in your string trimmer?

If my math is correct that's about 1.8333333333333 GPH. My guess is that
you didn't get that barge above hull speed much.

That's just about what Mrs.E.'s boat burns running wide open.

Maybe I need a diesel jet drive boat. Funny aside. Custom Weld had their
new deisel boat on display at the Seattle show. At least that is what the
big sign on the side of the boat said. $111k and you think the vinyl guy
would run diesel through a spell checker. Mine running wide open is about
20 gallons an hour. Since I average 2-2.5 mpg for a days running, I
definately burn more fuel than Harry.


definately (?) :-)

We have a lot of hard chop up here. The 21' Parker deep vee handles it
better than the 21' mod vee. Two of the very best guides on the Bay have
similar boats. They're really the ideal fishing boat for this area,
assuming you are going out solo or with a couple of other guys.

Keep telling yourself that, bozo.

I can't see your GB going 50 mph on the way to the fishing grounds.
And I can't see your center console going 50 mph in the Gulf Stream.

Good point.



You certainly can go 50 mph in the right deep vee CC in the Gulf Stream
off Florida on the right days. A lot of the SKA guys run that fast or
faster in the Stream.

Not in a 21' LTP. The "SKA guys" seem to favor 30+ foot Donzis,
Contenters, and Fountains. Nice try, paperboy.

On the right days you can go transatlantic on a dinghy.

Nice try at a recovery, W'hine. But you know and I know you know that
you are wrong once again.

Eddie Rickenbacker and his crew survived a crash in the South Pacific and
survived 24 days in a liferaft. Not much food or water. So very possible
to traverse the ocean in a dingy.

Dumfoch, indeed:

The massive Queen Mary 2 made history when it crossed the Atlantic
Ocean earlier this year. So did Hugo Vihlen. But the trips could not
have been more different.

Vihlen, now 72, completed his 105-day voyage in 1993 on a 5-foot-4-
inch boat named Father's Day. With the trip, he set a new record for
smallest boat to have crossed the Atlantic.

Funny...with all the hoopla attached to the Queen Mary2 when it went
intoproduction, you sure don't hear much about the Queen Victoria.
I hope it comes here in the next year or so....I could welcome it from the
deck of my Yukon.
