Hi Coot- We were coming off Willard about 8:30 p.m. I may have talked to you without knowing who you were. I was looking for BFT decals on boats but never saw any. I wanted to say to some of the guys are you the "Old Coot" but I didn't dare for fear they would not understand what I was asking and take offense.
We were fishing in Doug's 14 foot boat that is all decked out with the center console that sticks up in the middle of the boat and has a running light board up high in the back. Sometimes I wonder how he can see to drive the thing with that console sticking up so high. He has a 50 h.p. motor on the boat so it really gets up and goes when it comes time for moving somewhere else.
I had heard good reports about the east bank but we never made it up there. He wanted to go back to the north dike and he was the captain, so I agreed. Getting his boat out into the channel from the launch ramp he hit his prop into the rocks and mud. He was not a happy camper. There goes the *&#@ $70 prop. We must have drifted too far to the side of the channel.
Did you see the orange colored sailboat in the north marina? They couldn't get it out of the marina for lack of wind, and gave up after awhile and pushed it back to the ramp and took it home. I still had a fun time. Being with Doug is like a comedy show. It sure makes for lots of memories. Good Luck to you. Acey
