i surf with nancy all the time. last week we were the only two working this peak...well for 15 minutes anyway.....then 10 people paddled over. shes playing in my friends bar tomorrow night. well overhead and blown out now except one spot. i was surprised it wasnt more crowded. like fishing...local k...

danielle provides us with 4 days of beautiful perfect slightly over head surf...earl looks to be alot more intense. the surf report projection for friday night in montauk is actually................35 foot. maybe someone will tow into great eastern. (a mysto reef off the point). glad you escaped.......

yeah... we were going downhill for sure. later we found out it was a 5 mph zone.....better to be lucky than good.

what peter said.

randall

thanks....i use matte poly every other year on the cover boards. i take the swim platform off and refinish every 3 years.

randall

mahogany is attractive but requires more upkeep than teak.

randall

i expected to see a picture of a gaff through something non fishy. i wouldnt worry about that either unless it worsens.

randall

i was just tellin my son jesse about the UVIs...seems with that score you have a lifetime lock.....oh.

all kidding aside that is truly an amazing few days. couldnt happen to a better guy.

randall

nice set up andre'.

randall

the 60 bertram i fish on runs about 30 knots. kind of a rough ride but worth it in time saved. we however DO watch the TV. last november out 100 miles on a rainy stormy day i was comfortably watching the jets game when a reel went off and it was my turn.....................oh well.

randall

the ocean is the best way. far easier. like choosing an 80 mile trip on a superhighway or a one lane washboard road with a cliff on one side. even in my 14 foot boat the inside wasn't much fun.

randall

bob...you are the short run champ!!.

randall

sounds right.

randall

i was at the montauk yacht club yesterday....i would have ambled over if i knew you guys were there.

randall

figures...pretty dead when mike and i were there. have fun!!

Which for a Mets fan..........was a couple of weeks ago.........

santana complete game shut out...mets lead the league in shut outs....now for the bad news......do you want the short list or the looooooooooong one?

randall

what ever works!!!

it was completely dead and then out of nowhere it lights up. it would be nice to run out 45 instead of 85.

randall

very nice fish bob!!!....we went twice as far and got fish half the size.

randall

ive had a few brit sports cars that required the hammer. sticking bendix drive. try spraying it with CX.

randall

patrick....you might have thought we left early.......but when i got back to southampton there was an unending line of traffic going west from there all the way east to east hampton. yikes!. hope you had a good flight...caren found denaz's sandwiches this morning.

randall

even though i was only there for three hours it was pretty obvious that this was a good one and everyone was enjoying it. old friends and new friends....what could be better?

randall

say what!

randall

thats the kind of conditions mike calls "sporty plus".

randall

DQ...you got that right. for the first 30 miles i was reclining on the port engine box with my feet over the gunwale catching rays and mind surfing the wake. a light mist kept me cool. delightful. never saw the transom slide an inch.

one of my fly fishing buddies caught a 20lb bluefish in the sound yesterday.

randall i guess you were coming in from the so. east, yes, it started to get a little snotty in the pm not what i would call "snotty"...more like what mike calls "sporty". lots of caps but not much swell. we went to the dip. and then to the east. we got back at 5PM. didnt hardly get wet on the brid...

randall

a feigned question i fear but none the less mike and i ran in from 70 out yesterday in a mostly following sea. we only saw one boat on the way in and we blew its doors off. it was obvious the helmsman was trying to run at wave speed because the transom would slide and wash out on the downhill portio...

randall

nicest thing anyone could see ....thanks.

the thing about ethanol is it is not added at the refinery but right before delivery. if its not state law its quite possible to find gas without it.

randall

my option isnt in the poll. i like being outside while running the boat so i have no enclosure of any kind....not even a bimini. i run the boat from the bridge about 90% of the time(even in november) BUT the other ten percent of the time i am very happy to get out of a thunder storm or open the fron...

randall

2 medium rare still pink.....oh , t shirts...2 medium.

patrick....gonna build a bimini with the 2 X large?

buju...i had an art opening last night. a friend from new england emailed me to find out about the "dress code"........................."well, i'm wearin flip flops". and walter can attest i was. the first hour were at tropic star i take a kayak out and catch a pretty nice fish. of course i have no ...

thanks mikey but i dont think ill be doing that show again for awhile. do have shows in santa fe , westchester NY and chicago on the agenda however.

caren was tellin em they get one free touch and then its the cattle prod!!

thanks for the links patrick. the truth is i will never regain anywhere near the full use of my right hand and my thumb no longer really bends in the middle.......but it dosen't seem to matter much. my friend dan came up with the best explanation.

thanks ..i am a huge van gogh fan. the week after i finished this piece i went to a van gogh show in the city...a religious experience for me. i kept imagining my hand making the brush strokes. then i went out to dinner with mike o and matt holcome in the city...........and somehow made it home aliv...

mikey...i slept in the bottom bunk with ric in the upper. i could easily see a misfortune arising there. we survived.

shot 12.....ive seen it before.

randall

about the price of one offshore trip on my friends 60 bert. bait , ice , food, fuel, cap't, two mates.

randall

thanks everyone. really no folks i enjoy showing my work to more.

mike...i paint it on lightly then cover it with light washes of white....kinda sneak up on it till it looks right. the heavier white where the paper doubles helps add to the illusion.....smoke and mirrors.

thanks patrick...needless to say anyone who finds themselves on eastern LI next saturday is more than welcome to attend.

randall

the wrist and thumb aint what it used to be.........so i figured out a different way to get to the same place.

randall

i only lasted two days on the couch in "painkiller"...the stoage box was the ritz by comparison.

we all miss and feel terrible about the misfortunes of port eades.
