we get, from time to time, extraordinary folks that come down to the boat, and I am always happy to meet them and learn something about the world and our city. On this day, we had a repeating customer who I had met once before, who was celebrating his 90th birthday on the MJV on a Thursday night trip. This fellow spent the evening (7PM to Midnight) catching Porgies near Norton's Point, on a warm fall night. His name is Bill and he was in the Navy during the Korean War, when the cold war was boiling over and the US and China squared off with real guns and not just trade tariffs. They felt safe enough to fish at the rail without masks. In truth, the constant clean blowing winds on the open water protects them and they mostly fished a good 12 feet from everyone else on the boat. They caught more than a few fish, and left the boat smiling.
