Well, the Admiral's fleet has expanded... fishing off the back of Wings has proven unproductive so far, and besides for some, 5 knots just doesn't cut it all the time... I mean why glide serenely over the waves powered by the summer breezes when you can smash and bash throwing foam and spray every which way and keeping some middle east Sheik in business... okay, okay just kiddin'... Deanna has been wanting a little "speed boat" for some time and one day while the helmsman was at work, this little guy just followed her home - honest injun'... There is a little matter of needing a motor, but the search is in high-gear and there are high-hopes of boating a tuna or marline, or at least a croaker, before the north wind blows... had one similar to this one decades ago and enjoyed it immensely, trekking far too far out into the Atlantic in search of Mackerel and Wahoo's, so here we go again...sure am glad I ordered those spare reels to upgrade the trolling poles...
