Sounds like you guys had some fun with the weather. I wanted to come down, but was busy on Long Island buying my Seafari! I had to pull off the road for a while, the rain was so heavy. But then I got back to Nantucket and talked with a friend who was out fishing off the east side of the island when a black squall came through with sudden 75 mph gusts and 15' breaking seas. These guys (and girls) are all long time offshore experienced, and now they're talking about taking up golf!!! Apparently they almost lost the boat (30' CC) getting back to the harbor. Yikes!
Hopefully I'll make it to the next gathering in my perfectly restored (yeah right!) 20' Seafari! Steve

Rockdoc, congrats on the Seafari, we'll look foward to seeing it next year.
Now that you've obligated yourself to the next gathering there's no going back on it.......like some others we know who shall go nameless for now.

Man, sounds like you guys had some fun !!!!! Thanx for the pix too!!! Awesome boats as usual but I have to say Don that your paint job makes your boat "appear" as a Custom Carolina- mini Davis',lol (looks great!)
"I don’t think Chris and I would have fared to well had we been in the Aquasport" i had to LMAO- reminds me that I need to call and make an appt. with the dentist myself [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Glad you guys had a good time- As dreary as it looks in the pix what else did y'all do- discuss any "theories"???

Finster,
You need to have some T-shirts made up for your boat ... "The Vette gets 'em Wet!" (especially that weekend!) - Nick [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

Really wish I coulda made it- but somehow I don't think last saturday was the day for my first shakedown run!...... plus the boats not registered yet.....soon though! I was out today chasin the albies in my Maritime skiff, getting beat up, wishing for a much deeper V. I can't wait!
I wish I could have had a beer with you guys and seen the 19' BR, the 1970 20' CC and that Seavette! Too cool! Steve

Scott,
lots of albies here! Had an epic yesterday with one taking me around lobster bouy lines, then getting another lobster bouy stuck on the lower unit, steering with my butt while dealing with the rod and fish, as it went toward another bunch of bouys. Gotta love it! Lots and lots of eel grass in the water, which makes flyfishing tough though, so these were on the casting rod. Steve
