Took the boat and new trailer for a drive today. Trailer with boat, tows
great. The UHMW bunks make winching the boat up easy. Launched at
Emeryville in to SF bay. Took a 10 mile run up to San Pablo Bay. Caught
one leopard shark of about 32" plugging with a Hairraiser. Bait fished for
striped bass later for one missed run. Weather was fantastic. Shirt sleeve
most all day, after a light fog in the morning. No wind. Came back at
about 30-40 mph except when I got in to an area of large wakes. The ferry
boat, and a couple tankers. The barges being pushed, seemed to generate
very little wake. Fishing as great, the catching lacked a little. Did see
a few stripers landed by a party boat.

Acronym for Bring Out Another Thousand. Well known to those who made
the mistake of remodeling a house. Ask any auto racer.

Good day all around I guess... Hope you had friends and or family with
you. I got a bunch of UHMW strips last fall and was going to use them on
the bunks, I think it would work great for me too..
