Jim,
The new boat is Fantastic! L O V E I T ! ! !
I'm in Everglades City, and will be here another night, then (hopefully) headed to Flamingo early tomorrow.
One of the staff at the North Carolina Outward Bound basecamp here in Everglades City asked about the derivation of my boat name ("Katmai"). The comeuppance was they invited me to stay on their dock for the night, and I wangled another night out of them so plan to leave Thursday morn.
Whoever said there are mosquitos in Everglades City; was R I G H T ! ! !
I limited out on mosquitos last night, but since they permit you to have a two day limit onboard, I'm safe for another night. Sundown is interesting, but if you have a couple Scotches Early, it's tolerable. Anyone know why some skitters simply Smoosh, while other seem to have Blood in them???
...well, Duh....
Best,
Casey
