fast moving day so we're pulling up anchor to go over to Pensacola I needed some Transportation
so I asked three different people to see who could do it apparently they can all do it
so we have Bob on board again he met us here when we came in yeah Greg up there washing
off the anchor turn around say hello Greg there he is Greg actually had an NP 200 that
we tried and uh yeah it had rust inside so we got another one coming down from Big D
4x4 out of Tulsa that'll be here next week Brandon and Charlie are coming down and then
also what this is Tony Tony's a local he's been out taking our guests out fishing too
then he caught the only fish you didn't catch anything that day bass fisherman trout fishing
and they catch a bass yeah that's what he did that's what he passed yeah yeah and the
bass fisherman was uh Andy's Dad here all right now you got mud on my deck oh man all
right I'm gonna go back in the Pilot House where it's nice and toasty and warm because
we're running our little Chinese diesel heater it's fantastic and did you notice that Andy's
wearing short pants
and we ran a ground on sale the other day we were sailing beautifully and we didn't
even notice when we came to the stop it was that soft but I've reset my depth so what
you can do is you can set an alarm and I have my alarm set to three feet now it's probably
going to go off a lot I had it set to eight feet from Mississippi but that didn't work
around here there's too many shallows sticking out here we ran aground right about there
yeah where it's supposed to be deep enough but it ain't so I've also changed the map
here so the red dots indicate or you do not want to go for sure and we almost got off
ourselves we put an anchor into the Tinder and took it out into the deep water and pulled
on it like nothing else that motor does a great job wouldn't wouldn't it pull us around
and we got the bow facing the right direction but it wouldn't go so we got uh uh towboat
USA uh Betsy got me a uh membership to them and it's fantastic deal it's like I don't
know 200 a year I think and that one tow is worth it and the head like oh 500 horsepower
of engines they sent the little bow because they thought well it's close by we'll try
it first sure enough that's all we needed and we slid right off of it real slow so I
got my bottom of my heels cleaned off I need to do the rest of the boat the water's just
a little too cold for me yet
thank you
there's a friend of ours hopefully we don't need them again but I highly recommend them
I gotta say how much I enjoyed being at Pirates Cove I'll be back there someday probably but
man that they're not kidding the people around there will tell you it's a Vortex you know
because these guys are from that area just good people all around and it's an easy place
to go and stay if you wanted to but I'm glad I have the desire to keep on moving because
it feels good to be out here today just doing a little distance we are you know new scenery
new sights yeah and the smell of creosote because they are working on the fenders around
that bridge
thank you sir appreciate that
I think he's already down yeah he's down there I don't see anybody around the boat
that has a wide spot in the bay here in the Gulf of Mexico is on the other side of that
little spit of sand out there that's going to be our sell practice grounds more room
a little sidebar work today we're doing a first party on Seeker being made for another
boat that's uh what you get to do when you have a lathe on board you get to be the cool
kid in the in the bay this is going to be a pen for a Rudder on uh Tom's boat another
Chinese junk Rick day and Tom came out and visited seeker and I tell you what it's beautiful
to see uh them sell that little boat of Ricks around on the bay just feather light touch
you know it's a real shallow draft boat so it's a great boat for going down the coast
of Florida you can get back in anywhere with it and they spent weeks on it camping out
and exploring you don't have to have a big boat but having a lay is kind of cool too
