Good to see you on here. You gave me a tow Nov '04. It was an 87 Albemarle that had a small engine (wiring) fire around the Atlantic Ledge/27 mile hole. We trolled on the way in a and caught a 25 lb Blackfin Tuna while under tow. Remember?
Anyway, just renewed my BoatUS membership. I'm now riding a Kencraft 235 w/twin Merc 225's housed at Holden Beach Marina.

Married to same lady for 42+ yrs. Good news- she loves to cruise the rivers and ICW of coastal SC. Bad news- she does not like fishing. Two grandsons (7 & 5) live with us and am indoctrinating the older one into boating and fishing. Wonder how much money it will cost him by the time he's my age.
