Hi Gang,

We departed yesterday on our Ace Hardware sponsored 8 day trip. After putting on a nice load of sardine we cleared Point Loma just before 1100. Dinner last night was perfectly cooked prime rib with a baked potato and squash. After dinner, our hosts for this trip, Todd and Pennie Martin, had a bunch of give away bags full of hats, t shirts, tackle, gift certificates to Five Star Fish Processing, and a bunch of other stuff including 2 rolls of duct tape in every bag. Everyone recieved a bag of swag and spirits are high. Our weather is nice and we are heading south. Today will be spent rigging tackle in preparation for the battles ahead. Thanks for checking in. Life is good, Captain Bill Cavanaugh and the Intrepid Team
