katrina was the problem.

randall

no comment...that i would put in print.

randall

well first off my initial reaction would NOT be to get between a bear and a dog...but thats just me. you cant make this stuff up!!

randall

i have the photo of that marlin in kipps boat. nice fish!!....

randall

i have a soft spot for both rum and UVIs...together....that could work!!

randall

its hard to find stuff in the water. my son and friends held on to a swamped 16 foot red canoe in the block island sound for 3 hours while the CG looked with a helicopter. a local marine patrol guy figured the tide wind and drift and found them 20 minutes before dark. i guess clinging to a buoy narr...

randall

tough for some fun for others.

i am sorry about your friend. like the guy in florida....it just takes ONE second!!

randall

there were boats fishing off north bar and the elbow....i even saw a boat off the ranch (open ocean and very rocky).....full on double overhead swell and 30 K straight offshore. 3 guys paddled out at ditch plains. it took them about a half hour to get out and after another half an hour no one droppe...

randall

better than today!!

randall

that was us. when you get enough east in the hurricane swells they wrap around the point and hit that corner. it was well overhead on the sets.

randall

i yelled to you...i was on my friends sea ray. we were in the water for 3 and a half hours. its SO rare and exotic besides being a flat out great wave....i love it. did bounce off a rock and bang up my ankle pretty good however. there should be hurricane waves most of the week. this is the fourth da...

randall

was that you i saw cruise by eastern plaines point about 2 o'clock? my friend mike and i got it by ourselves for two hours before a few other guys showed up. they were very respectful and friendly since we were twice as old as they were!

randall

surfed the point this morning...slightly overhead. only one other guy out (good friend) and the waves were so long that after 5 waves i just couldnt paddle back......hey..i'm old.

randall

thanks...stick around.

or past. thanks everyone for the kind words. the truth is i only posted it because mike couldnt open it in the email attachment. so thanks again patrick. it worked here.

randall

..now the part about the White House?

obama has a yellow pad with his portrait on it.

i guess .google dosen't translate too well.

randall

like you said...just keeping up appearances.

thanks patrick!!

whats happening now is people are linking it from one web site to the next. they are generally common interest sites not "art" sites but it is totally out of my control ...so what the hey. it was on an architecture site last week.

randall

yikes...just got an email from china!!

bout 6 years ago mike asked if i had a website? when i said no his reply was "you're an idiot. i'll make you one".

mean team indeed.

randall

I like Trex very much, but will tell you that it is ###### slippery when wet. I came very close to falling off the roof when the ladder slipped out from under me when cleaning gutters this spring. I was lucky that the ladder had a hook on it that happened to catch on the gutter or I would have been...

randall

it seems the web site that mike made for me is going viral, at least in a minor way. it appears every day on a few more blogs and other websites. lately in brazil but now this:

when i was a carpenter i built a large ipe deck. to do it right every end cut has to be sealed and every hole has to be pre drilled. building a deck with biscut joinery is asking for trouble no matter what you use. deck boards should be spaced and face nailed or screwed so the water drains between t...

randall

exactly

randall

you can always run through the bay and then the inside. on a number of hurricane swells the ocean was only big for a day and even then if its a north wind the waves are so far apart that running isnt a challenge and the surface is pretty nice. i surfed montauk during one hurricane swell and there we...

randall

i know one boat that has one. he has a tall and very heavy tower and a fold up stick pulpit to boot.

randall

ipe is so dense it dosen't float. tough but heavy.

randall

seems an obvious topic of conversation to me. are we getting so PC we cant talk about things that obviously affect us all?

that said there is NO disrespect to the man who by all accounts was a great captain. all the more reason to talk about it.

randall

I like bertrams with nothing on them, no rails, no towers, nothing,

ever seen mine?

like walter said..".targeted species" is my idea of an outboard bertram.i have a photo somewhere of that marlin layin in the cockpit.

randall

[, does not look much worse then any other 31 with diesel power

i beg to differ.

i respect anyones right to do what they want and i think you can make a great CC out of any small bertram hull............but that just dosent look right to me.

just my opinion.

randall

funny !!

randall

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

a very generous offer....what happens if you see fish?

randall

hey..i once owned a sea ray. nice bay boat.

randall

ive seen that inlet 10 foot plus.

randall

here's a lesson i learned the hard way....you can be a pro...you can do it for decades...............but it only takes one second of inattention, arrogance and overconfidence to smack you hard or kill you. no one who does dangerous work is immune...you just think you are. sorry...sounds like he was ...

randall

its a 20 or so foot CC with a single outboard but to tell the truth ive only seen the boat once about a year ago and i dont remember. ill find out . what happened was he dropped off two surfers and hung around to take pictures. a wide swinging set came in and caught him inside. being a surfer himsel...

randall

this was shot 10 seconds later. it was who i thought it was. hope he learned a lesson and realizes how lucky he got.

randall

UV...why so pessimistic?

randall

it was designed by a committee of one....ray hunt.

randall

rod...ive surfed there. i only surfed the morning . i figured everyone was full by then. there was an evening glass off every day but i skipped it. i'm very sorry about your dad. my friend jim was an ab diver and got hit in the hip by a great white while doing an anchor check off santa cruz island. ...

randall

having a good friend who was killed by a shark its always in the back of my mind. surfing alone at a river mouth in panama i only lasted an hour before i haired out. i have never killed or even tasted shark...its a karma thing. mike once invited me to go shark fishing and when i declined he said.......

randall

i spend a lot of time IN the ocean and dont see sharks too often. however, i dont surf in the middle of schools of bait fish.

randall

my friend dalton took this shot yesterday at the place i surfed today. it was a lot smaller today. the boat dropped two surfers off and got caught inside. instead of charging in a panic he went in as far as he could so the white water was more manageable then ran out between sets....the only possibl...

randall

giff...a bunch of my friends went to block that day. today i surfed a remote cove about 3 miles from the lighthouse...me and a friend. pretty windy but fun. i liked danielle better than earl. we started off to surf gardiners island but it wasnt happening. i like surfing from the boat but there is al...

randall

giff...surfed yesterday right at the point. its the only place offshore on a west wind. slightly overhead and super fun. today was rainy ,ugly and huge...but there were guys out. i wasnt one of them. tomorrow will be back to reality. actually last tuesday was one of the best days here i ever saw. su...

randall

not over yet out here but pretty mild so far...cept the ocean.

randall

just starting to get big rain but no wind yet. surf is huge and out of control. batten down the hatches.

talkhouse.....she plays there twice a week or so it seems.

randall

as of now montauk is right on the cusp between TS and hurricane. should be an interesting night. all the big tents are still up at the horse show. i wonder what they are rated for?

randall

great fish....great photo. really....wonderful perspective. makes that marlin look like a submarine.
