Thanks REEL. Might sound strange, but I feel so much safer having that lanard ?? attached to me. Today was the day to be tossed over the side if it ever would happen. Knowing the boat would shut made me abit easier, knowing the wife couldnt leave my A$$ behind.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D.

Glad you got home safe. Not a great first trip for the dog, I imagine?

Your report and talk of the lanyard kind of brings home the point that our First Mates need to know how to operate the boat, in case something happens to the Captain. My wife is fine in the open water, hates docking. But she hasn't run the boat in really rough water, and if I fell overboard I'm hoping she could stay near me!

Nice pics, too. 8)

Just somethin' to think about:

A guy gets tossed from his boat takin' his kill-switch "plug" w/ him...now wife is in a disabled boat and CAN'T get back to man-overboard and CAN'T avoid beam-seas and CAN'T get back to bank even if she could ??? ...

Not sure the solution to this scenario, but it doesn't play well for me :P ...

What's the answer here??...

DARN GOOD QUESTION, REEL! :o

[parishht]

Hammer,
I tried to go into the bay Saturday morning,
nothin happen there, just too much chop.
but by the afternoon, it calmed considerably.
Went about 1/3 of the way to Cape May, stopped to fish,
caught one sand shark about a foot long.
On the way back in, I was going against the tide,
a little rougher ride, but not so bad.

Sunday didn't get out until afternoon, but the bay was good,
not glass, but good.
No fishin, just swimmin and playin around.

About your squeezy, check your gas filters, I have a
glass tube style in line with replacable elements.
The new gas is cleaning my tank and the sediment is getting
caught by the filter.
When clogged, the squeezy goes flat and then the engine
cuts out.
I have to clean the filter and then squeeze the ball for gas.
Sometimes I am in a hurry and I don't tighten the clamps
enough. Then I can squeeze a lot and not get gas, until I realize what I did.

By the way, Sunday I ate at the Lewes Irish Eyes around 2:00 PM,
I was watching for ya.

Glad ya made it home. Ditch the deadman lanyard. ;)
On really windy rough days I leave the boat home and head to the beach with my windsurfin' rig. Twix 20 to 30 knots of wind it's a blast. You should try it. You'll love it.
