  1. Yep, you Christians sure picked a good day for a holiday. How come you always make it on a sunday, though? Wouldn't it make more sense for it to be on a weekday so you could get more time off?
  2. Our Jack Russelll talks to the dolphins, and they talk to him. It's the strangest thing. He barks at all the fish we catch, and will bite them if he can get close enough. But not with dolphin. When we see dolphin, quite often we stop the boat. The dogs ears go up. The dolphin come over to the boat, and they stare at each other from about six feet away. The dolphin circles around and keeps coming back, and the dog is completely quiet.
  3. "Do not wait until some deed of greatness you may do, Do not wait to shed your light afar; To the many duties ever near you now be true, Brighten the corner where you are. Refrain: Brighten the corner where you are! Brighten the corner where you are! Someone far from harbor you may guide across the bar; Brighten the corner where you are! Just above are clouded skies that you may help to clear, Let not narrow self your way debar; Though into one heart alone may fall your song of cheer, Brighten the corner where you are. Here for all your talent you may surely find a need, Here reflect the bright and Morning Star; Even from your humble hand the Bread of Life may feed, Brighten the corner where you are. " (thats always been MY motto!)
  4. Ha, we have NO plans to get rid of the Contender. It rocks offshore. We were out all afternoon again today. But would be nice to have something to spend a weekend on. And we will still need the flats boats. Thats a different thing entirely.
  5. Thanks to all of you for the input. There wouldn't be any survey, as I would have to fly a surveyor in from somewhere etc. I don't know the year of this one,but did find out the owner is asking $ 75K for it. Probably a bit more than we would want to spend for just having a boat we could sleep on. We will probably keep the Contender and keep our eye out for that 34 foot Gemini sailboat deal. Same money.
  6. We were at the marina today, after taking a little sixty mile run in the Contender, and noticed a boat we have not seen before, siting on a trailer with a For Sale sign on it. It's a Pro Sport ProKat 2860 Walkaround. We have long been interested in an 'over nighter' for these shallow waters, and in looking up the specs I see that this boat has a draft of 13 inches. I don't know the boat, at all. I am used to seeing World Cats here, there are a lot of them, and a few Glacier Bays and some Twin Vees.... Anyone know anything about the ProKat 2860? Visually, it looked good. Twin Yammie 200s on it.
  7. Send us some. We have to buy the stuff by the truckload.
  8. Here's a link to the official report, which does have equipment lists, etc. in it. http://www.tampabay.com/specials/2009/PDFs...CISS_Report.pdf
  9. No kidding. We have the short haired, short legged version. At least I can be reasonably sure that once he got up to around sixty pounds or so his feet wouldn't reach the ground any more. Oh, no doubt he would figure something out, but it would buy us some time to run.
  10. Ah, well we couldnt do that. Dooley would eat until he puked, then he would rest a couple seconds, and start over again. I think he would gradually get it under control enough so that in time he would just become the worlds first 250 lb Jack Russell.
  11. Does he tell you exactly when it's time to feed him? And does he keep trying to advance it slightly?
  12. Well, since "From the Creator of The Hull Truth" is right there in the masthead or whatever you call it, I assume mentioning that one is acceptable. And since we know some of the THT IB disciples are snooping here, I thought it appropriate to point out that in the fifteen months since I got banned forever from THT they have not figured out my alternate name on there. AdamT mentioned his, and they banned him again. So I am not going to mention mine. But hey THT, I have access to all of it. And you can't figure it out. ha ha ha....
  13. Well, if you ever need another set of hands to fish, or go boating, or even to work on an engine, my youngest son (22) lives in Waquoit and is a fanatic and a mechanic.
