It is actually great to see that the weather will allow you to launch so soon. Give us a report when you get back. PS- are you going to run a Green flag when you take Scrimshaw out? |

Anyways the first 67 miles passed beneath the keel for the -Scrimshaw's- 39th season. |

Oh, also kinda nice to be rewarded by your efforts putting one away in the fall for the winter ! Here's what we have less than 24 hours from it's uncovering status post 1st run. http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x44/ribside/2010007.jpg |

Haaaa! Just got in from mowing my lawn and picking up my multiple tree shedding. Good to see that the day was favorable enough for a run Jim. Windy storms have made it to have left the tarp on thus far.. Looks like my next days off will see the blue one being folded and the fun shall begin. Thanks for sharing in your fun and Happy St Patrick's Day. |

It's supposed to be in the 70's the next 2 days here, the fish are starting to bite, and my lower unit is currently in 'shop prison' awaiting some new seals after I discovered water in the lube. :( |

jim, Thanks for sharing. I hope to fire up the Optimax this weekend, but it will be in the driveway. Hopefully, I will be able to get on the water within the next couple of weeks. Dan |

I was up in Newport, RI yesterday and was able to actually go outside without a sweater! For this Southern boy, that was nice. TOday I am working out of Mystic, CT. Tomorrow is Kittery, ME, where it is also supposed to be a pretty day. Been up here for two weeks, and it is nice to finally see some sun and warmth! This weekend a quick trip to the Thimble Islands. You guys sure do have pretty water up here (though rocky, it appears), and GREAT scenery. --- WhalerAce PS If you need adverse weather, give me a call. I was in Virginia Beach for the historic Nor'Easter last November, and I understand the rain and wind this past week was somewhat of a record-breaker as well. |

Couldn't resist it so off I went again. 71 degrees found the migration of waterfowl in full swing. http://s185.photobucket.com/albums/x44/ribside/?action=view& current=3182010001.flv |
