LOL...growing up dad used to have a slide show of his tuna trips on a buds boat. Here at the Mud Hole, Rhode Island and Glouchester. Picture after picture or boat wakes and explanations...this is leaving XYZ, this is heading back to____ after ...this is
As a kid it was all just a boat wake with some fish thrown in...granted some very large fish, but after I've seen a bunch they were just fish and wakes.
Today as I look at my boating vacation pictures and videos...its mostly filled with boat wakes and I find myself explaining to family members this is coming into Fire Island Inlet see the Marker...here is a picture of us leaving NY harbor. This is us running past the BA Buoy, both my wife an I discussing in depth to family and friends with their eyes glossed over...all except for the few that have boats. Those of us with boats look at the wakes and backgrounds...what speed were you going in that pic, wow, what a clean wake, are you sure that off of____looks more like.
Great video, I enjoyed, thanks for sharing.
Your boats hauling along nicely!
