For our new to us 16' - fish cutting station with poles attached at the back, and a sunbrella "bra" for that front roof stripe that always fades...

I replaced all of the light bulbs on No Pressure with LED. It really shows up well at night now.

Looks awesome!
What underwater lights are you using?


We're just getting started on replacing some lights too.

It's an underwater fishing light. We will be using it for blackwater dives, photographing jellies and other animals in the plankton.

The original drain basket was looking tired so it got a facelift with better function.

Now that I've replaced all the lights with LED, I was looking for another small project. I added a Poly-Planar MB41 external speaker to my VHF, and the difference is night and day. I can now actually make out what boaters are saying. It took me decades to get around to adding an external speaker, and about five minutes to install it.

I added an external speaker for my VHF pretty much as soon as I could after I got the boat. Makes a big difference.

Got a limit of sturgeon on saturday. What a miracle, all three fish we got to the boat were between 44-50 inches!

Another season in the books, and C-Traveler was already put away for winter, while the farmer next door finished cultivating his Soy Beans. Colby

Our new Honda BF150s arrived after only a year. Still waiting for the rigging kits, then it will be like having a new boat.

Today’s epic journey included 1.8 miles from home to marina, then almost 0.9 (statute) miles to cross the ICW



And then over to our favorite cove.



We anchored in calf deep clear water over white sand and walked on the Gulf beach for six miles with sunny skies and 82 degrees. Total cost including lunch, beer, car and boat gas about $4.80. Life is Good!



John

Yeah, but Colby will insist that 82 degrees is too damn hot for mid October!

It was 79 degrees up here in Bellingham, WA today. I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt on the boat.
