Well, I for one am still pissed off that I couldn't make it, so I'm sorry to see you guys had such a good time. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
I was so looking foward to parading around drunken, drapped only in the "Gucci". [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

As I said, I had a crazy weekend and we're short handed. And to make matters worse the other boat broke on fri. so I was running solo all weekend.

A special thanks to Jason and Nadine for putting up with us for 3 days.[img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
I had a blast seeing everyone again! The raft up was great seeing all the mint Seacrafts.
I think next time we'll need bigger anchors! Thank God for the Thunder Pig and the Piglet for getting us around! Capt Chuck put us on some huge Tuna schools and saved the day! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
He also snored like a F'n T-Rex Sunday night [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] I miss him already [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Mancini kept us laughing and ate alot of Italian sausage. I think Scott M and Jim (EBEACH)deserve heroic metals for the roll in (A Long Way In A Small Boat Part 2)! It's amazing what those guys went through in that 20 Septre. I think they should get immunity from that Green Gucci for a while!! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Once again, many thanks to Jason & Nadine for their warm hospitality. The fishing was excellent, but the laughter and company was the best. Sorry I had to leave right at 5:00pm on Sunday....

On another note, Glad to hear that I provided so much comic relief but what I was really hoping for was to hear some of those infamous "Rodney impersonations"

Thunder Pig is an absolute fishing machine. In solid 6 foot swells...(except for one I almost fell overboard)...I felt like I was on the QE2..
