This boat is amazeballs
Southwest winds usually mean the southern Bay will be flat but when they are blowing 25 to 30 not so much. Got to spend some time on the other woman , even if it was just for lunch.

With all the Navy we have here, we rarely see the littoral ships.
Slow day out on patrol. I am getting more familiar with the new boat.

Tried to move 111 back around to Ruddee after getting her bottom done. The 8 footers off the Cape had other plans. After admitting defeat, I followed the pilot boat in. She laid the seas down, making it tolerable.
