Hi Guys

Time sure gets away sometimes. Talking to the Good Captian tonight and found out that the last time I posted here was way back in September......

Recent events at work has apparently distracted me more than I really realized.

Just to bring you up to date....since the Greenport Rendezvous I have completed the installation of a 12 Volt 18 circuit breaker panel. This panel will give me the power I need to install my electronics.

Me and DeNada (and a few friends) ran away from home a few weeks ago. We departed from my boat house in Fish River and ran on the inside to Destin Florida. The 92 mile run took us 5 hours headed to Destin at a fuel burn of 51 Gallons. On the trip back I turned it up a notch or 2 and made the 92 mile run in 4-1/2 hours and burned 54 Gallons. Personally I was very pleased with speed, burn and the scenery. We stayed a couple of days and just froliced around doing nothing but cruising the harbor.

Hope everybody here is doing well

Welcome home Harry!

nice #s harry

Harry, I am almost positive you and I crossed boat wakes back in May. It was the Friday of the Memorial Day weekend, ICW around Wolf's Bay. Late in the evening with a full moon rising. You were headed east and I was headed west to spend the night at the Wharf. I was in my B28 with a dinghy mounted on the transom. I tried to call you on the VHF, but you must have had the stereo cranked up to loud. Your express looked good as she went by.

LOL....Eddie

I remember that day and weekend.....I remember seeing a 28. We had been at Orange Beach and spent the night before in Terry Cove. That morning we were headed back home.

DeNada is known by a few as the "Boat with no name".......nothing on the transom.

Probably did not even have the VHF on as its mounted inside the cabin (for now) and I cannot hear it when we are running.

Wish I had known it was you.......we would have stopped

Impressive numbers Harry, I'm burning 60 gallons on a striper trip.

Glad to hear all is well! We converted the old girl from a summer beach house back to a fishing boat in September, nights are dipping into the 30s now. Won't be long before the fat lady sings on the fishing season, it's been a good one.

welcome back buddy !!

Glad you spent your time wisely!!!

Hello again !

I missed that Alabama accent.

Harry

Was thinking about you the other day. Was starting to get worried. Glad all is well and you were missed.

You were conspicous by your absence!

Glad to see you back!

Priorities, Harry, Priorities! All work and no play . . .
Now quit that crap and get out there and burn fossil fuels!

Harry, glad to see you back in the sandbox. Hope Denada is giving you peace of mind. Being a boater is far more fun than grinding endlessly on fiberglass. Talk soon. BH

Harry- good to hear from you my friend. It sure sucks when work gets in the way of the good life. I know the feeling all too well.

Hey Giff. Many months after Greenport (at least for a 4 yr old) whenever Carter sees a boat with a tower he refers to it as a monkey tower because of you. Brings a smile to my face every time.

Running the boat is a good excuse to not sit around and talking about boats. Welcome back.

BTW.. I have the correct turbo at the house now, so the little one I left with you should be bolted on one of your 6Bs to create a compound turbo. Compounding turbos is the latest shizzle on the Cummins hot rod sites. If it works I will find you another little one for the other engine. If anyone can make it work, it's you. I think YOU should try it LOL, I'll watch :-)

Here in Alabama, statements like that are usually followed by "Hey Ya'll......hold my beer and watch this"...LOL
