Russ, can totally relate. Came to the Island 4o years ago....oh ya I need a boat !!!! Just had enough money to buy an old Sears tri hull. Needed a buddy with a vehicle to go fishing. Worked hard, got a loan, bought a bit of a wreck but it gave me my independence to go fishing with my dog "all on my own" with many ridiculous early morning and late hours fishing. Just loved to be out there......I guess not much has changed except the boat and the vehicle.
