That was maybe 3/4 throttle and we were running 20 mph all day (did hit 32 in the big turns in the Joe River).

That’s a sweet motor. It will outlast all three of us.

Another successful trip to Cape Sable with two old friends from Peace Corps. 3 beautiful nights with just enough fish to make a meal and entertain.

The boat is anchored on a loop system with a shackle to the bow. It's a snap to pull it in, unhook the boat, and run a bait out 100 meters. I use a piece of panty hose with at least a kg of sand in it for weight tied just above the wire leader. The panty hose tears open when a fish is on and dumps the sand.

We have also caught large sharks within short casting distance from the beach which makes you think when swimming or bathing... :?
