Wow!  "Way Cool" for both of you and NCKA.  It is heartwarming to think we are important enough to let us in on this great news.  Many thanks for making us a part of your family and am looking forward to "Yakking" with both of you.

I went out on the Qualifier 105 on it's maiden kayak trip.  We got blown off the water and never got to fish.  I am looking forward to doing it again on a Kayak only trip.  Perhaps NCKA would like to completely take over the Boat with a large group of us.

I am going down to La Paz at the end of September to fish with Jonathan and Jill.  The question, can I feel relaxed about using their gear (Rods and Reels)?  It would be so much simpler than trying to take tackle with us.

Thanks Jim!  I will definitely try this.  So far, getting these little white filets off rock fish has been an experience in protein but no taste.  This definitely looks more interesting.  I can't believe all these years I have been ordering whole fish when in Mexico (and loved it) but didn't even start to think that perhaps these are the same thing but only had to stop and think about how I would cook it.  The prevailing thought here locally is "Fish Tacos" which are fine but as you have just shown me, there is another way.  Thanks again!

In case you did not get the phone call, I will meet you at the Harbor at 6:30.  If you find the fog is too thick to be safe, let me know in advance to save driving time.

I am observing only Fog and Wind in Santa Cruz.  Is there any fishing going on or are we all waiting for better conditions?  There seems to be no reports at all.

I have still to catch my first "Butt".  WTG, it gives me hope.
