Anchoring offshore

Maybe that explains why I have head up the a$$ itis. I’ve never stayed at a Holiday inn Express. Have stayed in the round Holiday inn once. Kind of dumpy couldn’t even go out on the balcony door screwed shut. Real good breakfast though.
Wife was looking over my shoulder when I made the post last night. Then we got to talking about how much money I made on the head boats. I think they paid me $1.75 an hour or something like that. Usually made another 8 or $10 in tips. Was a tip bucket and we all split it… Then maybe another 5 or $6 cleaning fish. The bigger kids would make 10 or $15. Nobody wanted the little kid to clean their fish except the cheap a$$es. It was kind of like an auction as people come off the boat bidding to clean their fish. Nowadays the boat charges by pound and they get the money…
I made enough money so when I turned 15 and got my license. I bought a 68 rally sport Camaro and not long after that a H2 750 Kawasaki. Mom wasn’t happy camper over the bike.
Dang where did the time go.

I am fragile. Not like a flower. But like a bomb.

Maybe I should tell the story about the 4 titty dancers on a charter that didn’t want tan lines. Hahaha…

Yes, it is a good point because lots of folks from other States read this forum and many folks from SC trailer and fish their personal boats in the FL/Keys… Seems like I recall EF made a trip recently… Guess he forgot about that one… Haha…

I used my anchor ball until the rope wrapped around the prop in a freak current near the Gillage a few years ago. I got a Rhodan 36v 120lb thrust spot lock trolling motor for my 22foot Grady. It holds just fine in wind and current.
