Thanks for the all the positive comments gang. I've been replaying the sequence of events in my head since then. What a rush....

I was wondering where you went. You disappeared off the board where I bought your yak.

Those marks you told me were "scratches" turned out to be cracks in the hull by the pedal drive lockdown screws. But you probably knew that because it looks like you attempted to repair it before dumping it off on me. Yeah, my fault for not taking it for a spin or for failing to test the fishfinder, which didn't work.

Luckily, I had a pump with me when it started to take on water....

Tim at Dana Point Jet Ski talked to the guys at Hobie, and I got hooked up with a then brand new, 2009 Revo hull for no charge. The only thing that is from the yak you sold me is the tank and the pedal drive.

Actually Paul, when I sunk the gaff in him (he was definitely a boy from all the spooge he released), I let out a primal scream. Let's just say, the fleet was too spread out to hear me.

Some probably couldn't hear me over that private boater that was blasting Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera. Very annoying....

Made our own bait. No need to buy from a boat unless you're fishing the grey. Its nearly impossible to make squirts from a yak in complete darkness.

I was on the water by 5:30 and we had bait in the hold by 6ish.

Thanks John! Sorry I didn't hit you up before heading down. It was a game time decision. I was debating between going north or making the long trek south.

I didn't request the day off until late Thursday night.

Next time for sure...
