Not one grounding in the Bay this
year. Obviously, I wasn't trying as hard as I should.

=====================================

Obviously your water is too deep and overly charted. You should bring
it down to SW Florida for a proper prop polishing and skeg bash. I
have found two uncharted jumping rocks in the last three days.

Hopefully santa will leave a nice new propeller under the tree because
the old one is looking a little ragged right now.


Charted? Who needs any steeenking charts? I rarely look at charts for
fishing around Chesapeake Bay. If you are close to the "edges," there's
no water, even a half mile out in some places (maybe 2'). Most of the
fishing places I go to don't require the use of charts, When you're in
the middle of the Bay, you can, in most areas, see both shorelines.

Seriously, I do take a gander at my book'o'charts if I'm heading
somewhere I haven't been. There's not much to hit in the Bay, although
running aground in the mud is a problem.

In NE Florida, I lost paint on the props the first day in the water.
Lots of shallows to fish over, shallow oyster beds, et cetera. But not
much like that up here.
