So Ally asked on thursday night if she can take the boat out this weekend, considering I was going to be away and saturday looked nice. I knew I wasn't totally comfortable letting her and BF JJ take the boat with out me even being in the state, but you gotta trust them at some point. So after writing out a lengthy check list at the airport on friday AM, I gave them the go ahead.
Well. they did a fine job, getting to the ramp, launching the boat, and breaking the inlet at 7am. They had 3 friends on board. I kept track of them from my phone and could tell which spots they were fishing. I called to check in and they said they had great action but everything 14/15 inches and they were considering moving from the in close LI side spot but during the phone call, JJ hooks up with the first keeper, so they stayed a while longer and ended up putting two more in the box as the tde went high slack. They eventually went across to CT and had good action but only 1 more keeper when the fan turned on. By then it was late morning so they decided to not push their luck and headed back across with the Sound building and they had a fairly wet ride back.
Of course the real trick is re loading onto the trailer, and then backing the boat into its spot back at the house. Well I was fairly surprised when I got home to find everything as it should be. Boat in its spot, everything cleaned up and prepped for the next trip.
