Maybe I'm just getting old. I used to do things in my younger years that I would think twice about doing now. I remember being halfway to Bimini off Miami in my 17 ft' Mako with four of us pulling dolphin in with a raging thunderstorm between us and home. Later, I was out in six foot seas in my 18' Seacraft off Sebastian fishing near the Kingfish fleet and heard over the radio "just look at that little boat over there, what's he going to do if it gets rougher". Now, I try to pick good days when I go out in my 23'. Any hint of offshore moving storms, I tend to stay close. Funny how that is.
