I'll have to check out the Deerfield pier. We've got a cool camera at frying Pan Shoals that has some good activity. It right off Cape Fear, right at the NCSC line. Charlie, Im 55, 5'9" 250, on my second back surgery. Every day I bend and stretch in places no one in their right mind would try to go. Last week I spent the better part of 4 hours upside down, installing a pair of bilge pumps in a 31 Sea Ray, both pumps were under the generator. After laying on the exhaust system for most of the day, I determined the wiring to the pumps was in too bad of shape, ended up pulling the mufflers out of the boat and was able to stand, crouched over fixing the wiring. I've been stuck, like stuck real bad twice. Once between the top of a 6 cylinder Volvo diesel and the floor of the stateroom. When I got out of that one, i had the scars across my chest to show off. The other time, I got stuck between the engines on a 34 Searay, on the very bottom of the bilge. Like I was sitting on the floor of the bilge the boat was taking, I had slowed teh water down, but now I couldn't get out. My belt was hung up on something, quick work with teh benchmade and I was free. I've actually joked about doing a boat yoga utube channel, it would probably be funny. Reach for the bilge, stretch and reach for the starter.
