Hey gang...thanks for all the kind words. It is definitely nice being able to spend time with the family doing what I love.
Hey Doug, that family outing to Irvine sounds pretty good. I'll be on a charter the 3rd, but the 4th is still open. I'll discuss with the wife and see if she's up for a day trip.
And yes, my wife is a keeper. She loves to fish...almost as much as I do.
2 signs I've got a keeper of a wife:
1. When looking to buy a boat a number of years back, I was comparing the Seaswirl 2101 model with the 2301. When the wife got in the 2301 and had a look around, she had the biggest grin on her face and said "I like this one better!".
2. When I come home from a fishing trip on my boat, she comes out of the house and starts helping out with cleaning duties. Once, after a LONG day on the water, me the guys picked up lunch and brought it home. While we were eating, the wife got out the bucket, the hose and brushes and was about to start cleaning WITHOUT us.
Tell me I'm not a lucky man..
