So, Bill looked at the coupler, made one attempt and then went for his electric Impact tool. Short work and the bolts are out and ready for a trip to the boat shop tomorrow.
And so the boat maintenance continues.
Tomorrow, maybe new trolling motor batteries. Got two new Interstate 29s charged and ready.
Dwayne Lamb, Larry Mullins, E.B. Padgeant, Larry with a 58 1/2 pound COW.
Bill and I fished all day and had to stop when the trolling motor lost power. We got off to a slow start because we needed alcohol free fuel only available at the town of Cape Charles Marina. My card was out of date and Bill changed cards. Really busy day as no parking was available. Took an hour just to get my card updated and take fuel. Decided to go back to Kiptopeke launch and that worked ok as we got a handicap space. Fished near buoy 18 and trie to get on a drift. But no wind and needed the trolling motor to keep the baits pulling.
Trie all the way up and past Plantation Light. Then. Off Cape Charles on the West of the gut. No take down all day, nor did we see anyone with fish on. With the loss of TM power, decided to beat the crowds at the ramp.
Back at the motel, Bills crock pot beef was a welcomed meal. Had a south west salad kit too.
Later, the catch reports came in. All way North and just at dusk. The photo shows just one of the many citations boated.
We were disappointed because the water was mostly ripple free swells. Unusual for the bay and we could have motored most anywhere.
Now Sunday and everyone is on shore due to the 30 mph winds expected for the next few days.
So, BILL DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE CRAP ON MY BOAT AND TRUCK. It now looks somewhat cleaned?
Hey, hey shadow man is in the photo as is a finger.
