Even I draw the line before 1400 pages I'd be sound asleep after the first few of that stuff

I should have mentioned in my earlier post Jeff you are welcome on my boat anytime Whoever bought this boat got the deal of a lifetime in my estimation.

Good going

I guess stepping back from the main issue of "go or not to go" foremost in my mind is that many lawyers will also be looking for work right now and we are a litigation happy society unfortunately. The chance of the worst chance scenario of someone or a number of people getting sick or a death at absolute worst would prohibit me from chancing it. For some their entire assets could be up for grabs as insurance companies would be likely to bail on you given the high publicity around the restrictions, and just look at the ads on TV and it is clear some of them look for anything to go after when money is involved. Not worth taking the chance. I would be looking at ways to survive this even taking out loans etc. till the emergent nature of this blows over rather than chancing losing everything I own.

I hope Andy doesn't lose his trolling motor with it tilted up like that while trailering.

Here is a pic and keep in mind it is over 5 yrs old

Yes Rich (bikinibottom) made it and it was a great idea. It would work fine for the torpedos as well. It is lined with a towel type material as well so no noise. Simple yet elegant solution to storage in my opinion. Much smaller than a crate etc. and stores at the side near the gunwale under the passenger side captain seat.

The shark type weights I bought from bikinibottom came with a wooden box with compartment separations that each of my three weights sit in and it is the "nuts" No sliding around and I have room for needle nose pliers and a knife etc as well. The bottom has felt on it to keep from scratching anything.

Truck drivers were mentioned. A friend who knows a female semi driver very well and who has been driving them for over 30 years told me that rest rooms, and restaurants are closed all over the place and the drivers have no place to go to the bathroom or get food so many drivers are staying home. If this is so it won't be long before the supply chain becomes broken.

My wife said she heard that a number of wealthy folks from New York City have traveled to their summer places on Cape Cod and Nantucket. I don't think that is real smart as there is only one hospital on the Cape (Hyannis) and very little medical support of any kind on the entire Cape. High anxiety can lead to some really poor reasoning

Nice post and beautiful dog. Certainly an improved experience over this "arm chair" fishing many of the rest of us have been doing

You have a personal message.

They also make a flexible segmented stainless tubing which I now have

Exactly right

I have personally fished out of this boat on Lake O and it fishes and rides beautifully and I know Jeff is very meticulous Great boat for someone. It has seen some nice salmon come onto the deck too

Yep I know Greg... I was hoping not to have to spend $100 on one though I just want to use it for my probe rigger Thanks for mentioning though.

Good luck with it Clark.

Just a tip based on a recent experience where my kitchen floor needed to be replaced ($9,000 plus $2500 for mold removal folks). When you install the water line make damned sure that the fittings are tight and don't leak in back of the fridge. Luckily my homeowners covered it and they won a case in court to recover the money from where we bought the refrigerator and who installed it. Basically it had a very slow water leak over months that got under our kitchen floor and behind some sheet rock wall in back of the refrigerator. It was all because the little nut on the fitting on the back of the refrigerator needed to be tightened another quarter turn when they installed it. I didn't want the ice machine in the first place but my wife seemed to think it essential.

You missed my point. I am referring to folks like those still screwing around on the beaches down south, those that are still partying and hanging out together. By the way I've been prepared for this for the last fifteen years - just didn't know what the origin of the problem would be but I am prepared for everything including a societal breakdown of norms and laws and was well trained for it in the past. In short, it was no Kuhmbaya speech.
