First Party Boat

[Flukemeister1]

What was the first party boat you sailed on? Mine was the old Miss Belmar. Back when Captain Shinn was running the pink and green PT boat.
The next one was the Miss Moore. My dad and my uncle took me cod fishing. I scared them to death on the ride home. They couldn't find me. I was a little kid up in the wheel house driving the boat. Great stuff.

Super Cat out of AH, it was a magic hour whiting trip. I remember freezing my ass off and filling a burlap bag with baseball bat whiting.

Same here, the ol' pink Miss Belmar with a young Bob Nash. After that I became a Falcon (Atlantic Highlands) regular with Al, Mary, Skip and Jim Wirth.

My Dad used to mate on the Miss Belmar & the Sea Jet for the Shinns, on weekends. But the first Party boat he took me on was The Black Pearl, when ir ran out of the creek, in Keansburg. I believe that was around 1957?
