The little boat that could...

Paul bought a boat two days ago. Well, its a skiff and it cost only $150. While it needs a good scrub down and one must constantly be pumping water out of it, this boat is perfect for fishing! Yesterday was sunny and warm so Hale, Dave, Paul and I decided to christen the boat after work by taking it out for a spin and doing some jigging. We started heading towards the south side of Pennock Island and barely went fast enough to feel a breeze. This is the perfect boat for me as I always get so cold by strong winds. Although I've been told that it runs faster than you'd believe with only 2 people in it. Once we reached the south end of the island the engine cut out. The boat must have known what it was doing because it landed us in a cod hole. We were catching cod with every drop of the line! Several cod later and a rickety ride back to town with the sun on our faces, we were happy folk:)
