I'm goin but don't wanna

[Deep C]

DDEC working again... Busted hump to get 150 miles behind us. Only 25 to go but not gonna risk in dark with low fuel, high wind and less than 100% accurate chips in the gps units. Some lights out along way made the decision for us...

just watched Deepy cruise by rancho relaxo..no black smoke either! Welcome Back Deep

[Deep C]

No black smoke? You need glasses...

Going through there I was already on top... Every time I throttled up the last couple days it got blacker and blacker. Need to get some good fuel instead of that Fernandina frog piss I've been burning then open her up. First I'm gonna change the oil though cause this oil is done...

Glad you made it Deep ,since you started talking about this I had weather windows to deliver 6 vessels from as far south as Norfolk and as far North as Marblehead 2 vessels 3 day's ea. and 4 vessels for 1 day ea. just got lucky and only had 3-6head seas for a total of 4-5 hours on 2 of the longer runs.

I will be in PB sometime in the next few weeks by vehicle
and then again by boat a few weeks later........

Do you have Turkey sammiches after Thanksgiving or is it still PBJ

[Deep C]

I just had a bowl of turkey soup... That surgery I had on my mouth and the temp teeth still have me on soft diet...
Damn temps fell out. Dentist glued back in and they fell out just when I went north... Tried dent temp and stuff ... Wound up putting the drill to them and using zap a gap super glue...
Burns my tongue but at least holds them in ok for a while. Gonna go have a long Deep talk with dentist tomorrow. I'm a Deep and live a rough tough tooth grinding lifestyle. I'm not some cosmetic movie star case and I think its time he understands the difference...


We had good weather all the way to south of Charleston and made good time on each leg. Been so long since I got pushed to the ditch in Florida I had forgotten most of the route and what hell it can be... 30 knots outside or more just wouldn't be prudent.

Raining hard at the dock here when we got in. It let up and the wind eased up some too...

The weather didn't just force us inside. Princess Michelle is a 72 and Orion who joined us yesterday is a 77 that we ran with... Conservative guess was that we had to do slow passes on roughly 200 boats over the last two and a quarter days. Throttles up and down non stop. Very few open runs of more than a mile...Add no wake zones, manatee zones, bridges and its time to consider pulling and cleaning injectors...
Most of the boaters along the way were pretty courteous. One prick in a sail boat under power was doing like 12 knots and wouldn't come off the sticks . Then he'd swing wild right into our paths blocking any pass... Lookin for a fight. Screaming for coast guard to help as each boat passed. I was number four in the line up to work him over and it was a pleasure to dump the black smoke on him. Then I keyed up that mike before he could call and try to rat any more of us out... "12 Knots and not comming off your sticks is gonna get you a 13 knot heavy wake pass n doosh every time you rag fag piece of ..."
