Congrats to ALS Mako and Tommy on their pool winners, you guys did great. Was a little jealous watchng ALS Mako bailing what seemed like a lot of fish from the port corner, and Tommy with his drag pulling beast

. I was pleased by the bottom that we had even up front, but just couldn't get the bite working, 'cept for the bergals, of which were chewing really hard early.
Had a blast meeting Tautog 1 (Steve) and Kimmy (both beat me at poker and blackjack), delicious BBQ from Smokehouse Steve, shrimp fishing lessons from the other Steve, Boston Pete feeding me some nice stogies, Lab (who also beat me in blackjack) with all the laughs and for letting me school him in geology (even though not my subject); he is right, we did have shade for 1 drop with a North wind and hard north current, but that got straightened out shortly after

, but wouldn't let me live it down.
Thanks to everyone who showed and to all the support during my recent life event. You guys make me laugh

and its a privelege to have such great friends sharing our passion on the sea...
