Default Re: Rough Day on the Bay

I've got to share this with you guys, as I'm not at all familiar with Delaware --

Last night I got into a conversation with a neighbor, a gentleman of about 80+ years, and gradually the talk turned to boats. Well, I soon discovered that he used to have a place up around Indian River. He started with a 16' boat, soon learned that he needed something larger, and bought a brand new Grady White, a 20 or 21 footer -- this was back around 1960. His eyes sure did light up as he talked about going through the inlet and out to an offshore marker to fish, and going out farther to the canyon. He loved that boat, and spent many days and more than a few nights on it fishing with his wife (now deceased) and sons, and brought home a lot of flounder, among other things. I could see in his eyes and in his words that he could see all of these past scenes in his mind like it was only yesterday.

My point? These are the good old days, gentlemen.

I think I'm going to invite him out on the ol' PD. ;)
