Earned a day or two off . . .

OK,  we got beat up pretty bad on Tuesday.  Bill left on Wed due to need to attend a funeral back home.  Since the seas calmed a lot, Jim Bo and his son Brantley went to the ships anchored near 36.  For their 17 foot skiff, the seas were uncomfortable, but they managed.  Brantley had to get back for school.  Wasn't a good fish day and they got skunked.  At least they caught fish over the past weekend.  They had lots of eels left and stopped and gifted them to Bill and I.  Now wish I'd taken a photo of their team.  Maybe Bill took a photo.  Nope,  then maybe Jim Bo can email a photo of the team with their boat and or fish?

Met BJ and David in the breakfast room this morning.  Like Dewayne Lamp and buddies, most all were heeding the small craft warnings.  Yet Dewayne's boat is gone and I presume he' on the water.

No word from teacher about his exploits.  Not sure why he stopped writing.  But, the photos he provided of Adam holding evidence shows he's da man!

Found the eel tubes that I misplaced while unloading gear.  Used Real Magic on the reels exposed to the salt on Tue.  

So, is the boat ready?

Sure hope so.

Well, not so!  The coupler needs work.  I unhitched for transportation while Bill was away. When Bill returned on Friday, took a half hour to get the coupler to lock on the ball.  Certainly less than the hour it took me to do it and delayed my departure for an hour.  Needs work in the next few days.
