It "Go's" Mike!
I did catch some waves , and I musta made some too....took the long way home! Flat and smooth, a 1 hour45 minute ride home....
I got the 115 E tec saltwater up and moving under a new to me 20 foot long Alumaweld "Intruder" Boat now, and had a 12 hour ride home, waiting for the tide to shift East.........over 6 footers in the sound, and that, while boating alone is a BIG "NO-NO".....so I was happy someone invented a Bilg pump, and I arrived witha dry gas tank, and only a 5 gallon spare jug of propellent(Our word for Gasoline).....so I was happy for dry land and the fact that I bought way more gas than I anticipated, probly combined to save my life...along with waiting off shore, in the deep swlls, rather than attempt land with heaving,cresting, breaking seas and smashing onto shoals/sandbars that start about a mile off shore......
"And the rest of the story" as Paul Harvy would say on the raido, is that once we were home, and I parked in the river, I went home happy....awoke the next day and took a spin in the river, to the mouth and parked it...happy day
Awoke the next day and the boat was fairly "Gone"
Some a$$hole, TWO DAYS INNA ROW has pulled my plug and sunk my boat.
Now Ive unsunk a few boats, and even ran one way up a beach, so , Gladly" theres no damage, just a washing.
Took it for a spin tonight, all is well, and have it parked with a dog chained near by..... I keep a Mosin loaded at the new back door, 'case I need repell boarders.
Thats just a bit of what Ive been up to,
Heres a pict of some more.....with a Sestoretsk 91/30 refubed, flaky varnish dipped and all, I picked up for the son in Fairbanks for size comparason.
