It was great putting faces to names and seeing such fabulously restored boats. It’s too bad I had to leave early. I heard the afternoon fishing featured a nice “wind against current steep chop” to test the seaworthiness of the var. deadrise hulls. Glad to know that all passed with flying colors – drenchings notwithstanding.

I also had the pleasure of meeting and fishing with JohnR for the first time that morning. He was instrumental in our success of getting a bunch of tuna in the boat under challenging sea conditions.
