Been a while!

Spare, that whaler I looked at up near you was nothing like the ad said as usual. All stuff that could be fixed, but def not for the price he was asking. I appreciate you talking to me about the engine.

Phatdaddy you are partially to blame for all this. Reading John D. Macdonald and especially all 21 Mcgees straight through literally changed me or brought out what was already there. If we ever meet up one day drinks and dinner are on me. Speaking of adventure, I'm looking at a panga down in Merritt island area on Saturday. Had the hair brained idea of how cool would it be to ship the trailer back to Savannah and come the whole way back on the intracoastal in the panga. Mentioned it to the wifey and she just smirked knowing I'm half serious. I'll let you know about the 19 skiff, it's a sweet setup, just not what I need.

Pipe and Blue it feels pretty good being disconnected most of the time from all the BS. I know a lot of folks need the constant technology connection for work, but I don't. I got a flip phone and use my wife's tablet if I need to get on the net. We do have a smart TV which is cool to watch a couple of YouTube channels I follow and because we cut off the cable about a year or so ago. I don't even text anymore.

Destroyer, I had an inflatable hanging on St Croix Davis off the transom, but took it off. Was way more cumbersome than I like, plus me the wife and two 50 to 60 pound dogs looked pretty silly loaded up in it. We plan on doing most of our cruising anchored out and having a fast and seaworthy tender that isn't gonna deflate, can be beached, can haul a load, etc is big for us
