Nice report and picture Bill. You don't need to worry about fishing for GBFT only this winter. The offshore bite, especially wahoo and tuna, can be off the charts over the next 3 months. Those fish are not pressured and are hungry and mean in the cooler water. 69 degrees is not too cold for them. Find the bait over structure and pound 'em!

Glenn,
that was a priceless Glenn W klutz moment! You are a good sport!

As always it was a blast Bill. I guess we were lucky to get what we did after the water pushed offshore overnight.
I feel compelled to give our buddies a good yuk---- Klutz move of the year--

Bill had the main engine hatch open in the salon working on the fuel rack. Now, Bill is not the happiest camper at the moment to begin with considering all the work he just put into the engine that was now having a bad case of the trots. With the hatch open and the couch in the salon there is about a 4" walkway for the 7' opening to the forward section of the salon. For some reason I don't remember, I decide to walk this tight rope. We catch a swell and my foot slips and catches 4,363 tools--- wrenches, sockets, feeler gauges, little allen wrenches, etc. Shit goes flying everywhere in the engine room--- under the engines, under a fuel tank, under every tight space in the bilge---. Of course, these were the tools neatly set out to work on the engine. Can I get you something out of the fridge while I'm in the galley Bill?

I knew I couldn't do justice to the story. No big deal, at least we got them all back in the toolbox.

Now when that postcard comes in the mail for your free ballet lesson, don't throw it away because it is an expensive class and cost me a bundle!

Nice report and pics Bill.

Looks like a great day on the water to me. Glad the boat is doing good too.

Pretty work on your fishing my friend.
