Lanapolera Restaurant on Kingsley Ave. in Orange park- the original and still the best (in the (now)chain). Must tries- Guacamole, Flan Fajita texanas, cheese dip.

Foofer - I'm getting hungry just reading your email!

Rain passing - off to the boat ...

Fished Sunday - nada. The water is still just 56 degrees. Coldest winter in 25 years here in Charleston, SC.

Who has some Spring launch videos? Anxious to see some Trojans running!

Well after working over 50 hours this week and it was still just 1:30 pm on Friday and 70 some degrees outside, I decided to take Paula Sea out for her first spin in a while. Here's a link to the video I took. The inlet behind me is Little Creek in Norfolk. The body of water I was on was the Chesapeake Bay, or should I say Chesapeake Lake by the lack of chop, days like that are few and far between on the bay. Boat ran great and can't complain. She was humming along at a hair over 3000 rpm and doing 19 mph coming out of the inlet. Not bad, must have been going with the current. In the video, I was going along around 16.5 mph.

Paul - wheres the video? I want to here those 300's humming!

Ran the engines last night prepping for a ride today - lost the impeller on the port engine (or scupper is clogged). Haven;t replaced in 3 years, so it was probably time ...

Going to rain here later today - 75deg and sunny yesterday and this am though!

Not back in the water yet, but here's a couple of videos I have from the the end of last season.
