Today we took out my Dad's old aluminum 13' boat with my Father in law's 6 hp johnson from the sixties. The old motor ran like a clock after cleaning the tank a bit and the plugs after sitting for about 16 years.

We went out for a ride, taking the whole family then went out and worked the shoreline for a few miles with no luck. We trolled on the way back and got a hit from an Osprey who stole the rubber bait. I told my son to reel him in so we could cut the line as short as possible. But the bird broke the 30# test and we really don't know how long it was trailing. We hope it will not be hurt by the mishap.

When we got back to the house my Daughter in law had the shark cooked up from yesterday. We ate it with great relish.

I'll be heading home tomorrow early.

If not for the "no-see-ums" I could get used to living here.
