Jason, sorry for the late post, I should have called you. I can not make it to Newport. I am just exhausted from work and on recall. This hot summer has set new records for insane boaters on Long Island Sound. I know you guys will be having a blast so be safe and take pics!

Hope you phags are having fun. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I just got back from saving an 18 Skater with a merc 300x that riped the bow of the boat off after nosing it into a wake at high speed. Three people went into the water, fortunatly no one got hurt. I can't believe this boat didn't sink.

Welp, have one for me.

Cheers.

Finnie - we were thinking about you while sippeing ice cold beers, chasing tuna, and turning 20 Scepters into submersibles....

Nice meeting all you guys. That was a lot of fun, I'm sure I'll come down next year too! Thanks for the Tuna tips, on the way home we saw about 12 different schools of tuna making the water boil, so we fished for about 15 minutes (had to get home in time to catch the launch) and got 1 tuna in the boat out of 3 hookups. One fish popped off for no reason, one peeled off line for about 30 seconds, tried to spin the boat around to chase it but snapped the line at the last second as we tightened the drag before we were spooled. He got away with a lure.

The one we got in the boat was enough to feed 14 people last night along with some leftovers for today! I can't wait to go back down later this week, hopefully they'll still be around!

Tell me about it!! Talk about "Victory At Sea". [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] Scott took some nice pix of EBEACH and I underway, so hopefully he'll post them when he gets home. Jim did a great job of keeping us afloat, so many thanks to him.

Once again we had a great time, with a better boat turnout this year. Let's see, there was Blizzard's 23 CC, yachtjim's 23 CC, cSickNick's 20 Seafari, EBEACH's 20 Sceptre, Chris Downey's 23 Sceptre, Roger's 20 MA, and thedink's 23 CC. Plus Trayder's good old Thunder Pig serving as the "committee boat" [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].

Highlight of the day was dragging anchor and having 5 boats all tied together powering up to reset. Very nice work by each captain. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

On top of the boats mentioned, we were joined by Capt Chuck, SEAFARI, Scott, John R, and Ed Mancini showing up later in the evening.

Many thanks to Jason and Nadine for their outstanding hospitality and for preparing some kick a$$ bluefin for dinner.

It was great to meet yachtjim, Blizzard and Roger. You all have sweet boats. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] Everybody else's boats weren't too shabby either. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

As soon as I get the pix off my camera, I'll post a couple.

Nope. Finster was too busy towing Bayliners off of sod banks to come get his prize. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

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.

Guys,

Glad i made it to spend some time to shoot the $hit and put some more names with faces! The tuna was a nice bonus!!

I ended up down river in Bristol with the BBB's (Bruiser Boozer Brothers). Here is a pic with their prize;





I spent the night in Bristol(gotta love the cuddy) and still go the crap beat out with that wind!!

Was it rough ..... maybe a little .... ;
