glad everyone is OK!

I picked up my brand new boat on Thursday of last week and hauled it down to Cocodrie to fish the SFA. Friday was the maiden voyage and we broke her in with a nice pounding in the gulf. Got back to the ship channel and decided to open her up to see what she would do and needless to say, she didn't like it. Motor started clacking and just completely shut down. Fortunately two very nice Citgo guys on a work boat towed us in to a local marina and then took my down to the camp to get the truck. Less than 2 hours and a busted motor!!!

As they say, stuff happens!
