Help Bert Vega!
He is grounded he told me until his significant other lets him get back on the water. That is ridiculous and not masculine if you ask me! I say let's help him get back on the water and get him a new mirage drive. I will chip in 20 bucks to start until we find enough people to get him a new drive. Who else is in? |

Where did he lose it. Is it a place where you can free dive to look for it.

Has he tried to get a second job?. That's what I had to do when I needed or wanted something. Maybe someone will buy it for him, its worth a try.

Wow guys I really dont know what to say. Thank you for this. I appreciate it allot. It really shows how tight a group of people are on this forum. With that said I can not accept anyone chipping in for a new drive. I have money to buy another. I am just on hold for a week or so. I just spent about 6k in just over a months time getting into this hobby. And the warden is a little heated that I am going to spend another 600 for a drive on top of the other things I plan on getting and doing. This is just a minor setback. I do not need a second job. But do agree with if you need something work harder to get it.
Again THANK YOU JEFF & CHRIS for this. Its to super awesome of you both. |

Sorry to hear about the drive Bert, at least it happened on the way in instead of first thing.
If you don't get one by the weekend you can barrow the one off my outback. |

So sorry to hear about your mishap Bert. This sounds like something that would happen to me. In fact, I fully expect to lose the new fish finder I just installed. You can bet that after hearing your story I will be extra vigilant on my next outing. Please let me know if you could use any help finding your lost drive. I have about a week left of vacation and would be more than willing to help you go down and take a look.

That still remains to be seen. The shop is still working with hobie. The hobie person they are wanting to talk too is out of town. At least that is what they are telling me. I ran out patience and ordered it today. Honestly I am not expecting anything from hobie. Nomad is already giving me a discount. As long as I can get back out fishing. Without the warden being to upset I don't care one way or the other.

Just hung up the phone with Nomad Adventures. Who had just hung up with Hobie. My drive is waiting on me to pickup. And the big news is Hobie has agreed to give me 50% off. I am very thankful to both Nomad and Hobie for helping me out with this. Way above and beyond what I was expecting. I am picking up my drive tonight. Can't wait to go fish this weekend!!!!!
