You have it! One slide show coming up. (I spent most of the spring organizing a slide slow from the days at college 50 + years ago--800 slides, condensed into 25 minutes--but that was far more difficult, since one of the photos were in digital format....

We can probably throw in a little high def video in the slow also.

Friday and Saturday were pretty good ocean conditions, the kind I like to run for tuna, no tuna heard of within 85 miles of Newport , so went out for halibut at the chicken ranch one day and the rock pile the other, we limited out both days, but it took a while, nothing really big 34 was the biggest. I covered approx. 65 miles on 20 gallons of gas with my 06 e-tech 90, I was trying to figure out what range I would have for tuna with out carrying any extra gas, and if this was pretty good range for burning 20 gallons of fuel, this was in my 22ft c-dory, any comments, thanks Rolling Eyes
