    TUNA TAXI Back in Action

    After a sucessful run-in yesterday morning, my port engine rebuild is over and everything looks good. Gave it a good run outside the inlet yesterday and saw bait busting all over the place. I slowed to run on one engine while adjusting the injectors, and Glenn set a line out and hooked up a 30-ish Mack, then another knock-down dead stick while we were drifting. How's that for multi-tasking.

    Thanks to all the guys who gave me a hand during this project, there were a few steps where one person certainly could not get it done.

    A great big THANKS to Mike Perkins of Perkins Diesel in Chesapeake, VA. He advised me along the way and when I dropped off a truckload of parts from the engine, he had a new set of parts waiting for my return trip down. He kept me out of trouble and was only a phone call away when I had a question. Great guy to deal with.

    See you guys out there, but I'm sure it's gonna blow like hell for the next few weekends now that I'm running again.

    Glad to hear she is up and running Bill. Guess the wind is going to blow this weekend. Not only in the wahoo challenge going and the AB King mac tournament but your boat is good to go. Yeap she is going to blow.

    I think Rick nailed it - Calcutta tourney, KMT tourney and Tuna Taxi on the water - I might as well haul out now

    Get out there and make up for lost time - Glad you are back running again.
