Lookin' good Allen - congrats!

John -are you ready to install the hyperdrive on your Adventure? I can make a house call if we fish a little before the drilling.

O2B - lookin good in the yum yum yellow uh mango AI. The AI allows you to target big fish and pelagics that couldn't be reached by peddle or paddle.

Okay...just got back from a ripping great time with HOLY TOLEDO. This after.noon we switched things up...Patrick took first round on the AI as the wind was up and I took his Revo with the sail... without  outriggers. The Revo without outriggers is a riot to handle in a stiff wind...kinda like holding a tiger by the tail!!!!    A couple times I almost took a swim but keeping a loose grip on the sail line I was able to stave off disaster even though I dressed for the drink.

Then it was my turn on the AI. Tonight I spent the majority of the time concentrating on smooth sailing and discovered a sweet thing about this machine....the more you relax and let it do it's magic...the more fun it is.....it's effortless!  Tomorrow it's one more sail and then I am ready to take a fishing pole along and ready for Sunday at ARW. Tomorrow think there is going to be another addition to the AI fleet as HT is HOOKED!!!

I'm just about ready to pull the trigger.  Thanks for the offer Scott, I'll take you up on it soon.


Allen - I heard Hobie was releasing a special AI safety clothing and gear package in support of those gnarly AI pelagic adventures. Did you pick up the new safety package with your AI?  Looks to be cutting edge...........

Don't wear out your Revo. Sell it.

The AI was as big a change for me as when I first stepped off the shore to fish from a yak.

Guess I'll have to do the "acid test" putting it on my camper to see if it works... :smt044 :smt044 :smt044
