Great story, I had not been on here in a couple days and had a somewhat crappy Monday. This was just what doctor ordered, I was very pleased to see another installment in the life of bob. Great reading, thanks for sharing.

Next story I am putting together is not offshore but rather a 1120 mile inland river trip from Cincinnati to Mobile, AL. That was in the Formula 419 via the Ohio River, Cumberland River, Tennessee and Tombigbee Waterway down to Mobile just as a hurricane is about to arrive. I had the boat in Michigan for a summer and then wanted to get it back to Florida so had it trailered to Cinci and took it down the river system. It was a very interesting trip. I have all the charts out on the table now and as I look them over am making some notes as events are coming back to me. I will write over the next few days but will not post the story until back in Canada early next week as I have some pics there that should accompany the story. And no I did not do it solo ! LOL
