Well we made it out again Saturday night. Got in the water about 6:30 pm.
Weather wasn't to bad, it was rainy but it was also warm out.
Only boated two fish, 41" and 32". Fishing was slow but it was nice to get
a keeper.
But let me tell you about the ride home.
It is about 2 am. We're putting the boat on the trailer, about two more
feet to go and the winch cable breaks. What to do - tried a knot in the cable
and brought it in slowly (also try to stay out of the way.) Well it worked
and we got the boat onto the trailer.
Pack up the boat and get on the road. Stop at dunkin donuts for a
coffee and I'm passing in front of the truck. I hear PSSSSSSS !!
WHAT NOW ! Seal for the thermostat is leaking. Get some water
and then tighten the bolts as much as I dared. Put the cap on the radiator
lose and it looked OK.
So now I get on the highway and with all the confusion, I forgot to get gas.
So it is now about 3:30 am. We get down to 110 in Haverhill and we think
there is a gas station there thats open. Well we're right. I go into pay,
while my partner is filling the truck. I start to get into the
truck and look at the trailer. FLAT TIRE !!
I have two tires on each side of my trailer but no spare. So I still have
three good tire. What to do - Well this is a station with a store.
So we go back in and buy (fix a flat in a can). This works and we're
off again.
Thank god no more problem after this.
Anyone into the Southern NH area have a 15" Ford tire/rim for sale ?
Plent of fishing left, don't put those boats away yet.
Jim :>
