Fishing with Friends

Skipper: Scott Karren
Guests: Mike Roddy, Roberta Roddy, Sue Karren
Weather: Sunny and Clear
Seas: Calm
Destination: Apple Tree Point
Engine Hours: 92.2 to 94.6

Boat was much stiffer coming off the trailer. Had to tap the breaks two or three times to get it all the way off. Cruised near the ferry run fishing for salmon again. We did not catch any keepers, but had a great time on the water in the sun. Got new fishing gear of my own so I do not have to borrow Dicks tackle any more.

Sue and Roberta each brought enough food for a three day cruise. After about the third picnic basket, I asked Sue how many people she thought were coming aboard. Then Roberta showed up with just as much. We did not catch any fish, but we at well.

Cross wind at the boat ramp made docking a bit of a challenge. Took me three tries and still was not real slick when Mike jumped ashore. Not much room to maneuver at the ramp and it makes me nervous. With the supports welded in place, we can just drive the boat onto the trailer. No more winching or wet feet.

Maintenance:

None.
