First Kill, or "I just ate a $13,000 Lobster"
OK, Bought my new 2002 210 in January. Since then it has been killing me to see it sit in the driveway, suffering from a combination of waiting for titles, bad weather (winter, who knew?), work and family commitments and most frustrating of all, water in the gas problems.
Now, spring has sprung, the days are getting longer and I think I have the machine running properly. Yippee.
A couple of weeks ago, on a shakedown run, I put some lobster traps out. Finally, yesterday I got out to check them and came home with 11 nice little bugs. Good dinner in the neighborhood.
So, the bad news is that the first lobster cost me $13,000. The good news is that the others were free!
Yippee! Spring is here and the fish are coming back... Now I just have to get the boat clean!
