Any fellow stewards near Haulover or Boca inlets?

Just curious because there are a couple of webpages of folks filming boats tackling the waves formed in these inlets, which are known to be challenging due to wind/current interactions. I've yet to see a 31 show its stuff (they id each boat that passes through), but I bet they would get some good video!

Hope all is well with our fellow sandbox dwellers, and after one knee replacement, a torn rotator cuff (surgery in a couple of weeks) and a broken hip, I'm looking forward to getting on some wahoo this fall!!

ps...whoever has there boat at Harbor Master in MHC has one sweet lookin' 31!

I'm up at Palm Beach Inlet and Jupiter Inlets.

These inlets reputation is more due to the quality of boaters that are passing through than the inlet itself.

the boat you are looking must be Rapscallion.
It belong to Lin Spears of Wilmington. He has had the boat I think for over 30 years. Also he is in charge of the Bertram North Carolina Reunions . We just celebrated our 30th reunion July 2. If you are not on his list let me know and I get you added. You are right it is a beautiful 31 and he keeps it that way.

No doubt, a blooper reel dubbed with Benny Hill music is overdue!

Thanks for the 31's coming through the inlets..never gets old.

I've got all of the safety/reliability issues dealt with ( as much as can 'till something else needs attention), so now it's time to fish and work on nice-ing things up a bit to get the Capt. Pat ready for the debut party!

We have seen pictures of that 31 with Outboards before but I believe she was sitting up on a lift.


Manasquan inlet up here in NJ. We seem to be 31 country up here. Manasquan can get nasty just like any inlet. The real test is a full moon, NE wind for 3 days. The wind drops to nothing, and the water starts rushing out of Barnegat Inlet, but you have a swell from the day before wind hitting the beach. Oh the fun of it. Some pucker moments right there.
