[Daddyo]

What boat is Knotty Dog?

 

[Daddyo]

I'll take their pic. Shouldn't take them long to catch me in a Duffy.

They appear to be running at 9 knots, about 1 mile behind you.

[Daddyo]

I had just warned the Tolly there was known shoaling where we were, he thanked me then cranked her up to 15 knts or so

I have tried that for years to no avail. Sorry. I am internet AIS blind.

A lot of alligators in that area.

Daddyo-were the dolphins in the Santee Rivers area? There were always a lot of them in that area. Never had them bump the boat though.

 

[Carolena]

I don't think I've seen one of these before. Anyone know the make? Lines look similar to a dockmate's Tiara, but clearly a very different style than his boat.

 

[Daddyo]

It's a Fathom 43

 

[Daddyo]

Dolphins were near the Santee. A firzt for me. I wonder if they were just saying hi?

I think they posted on this thread about 20 posts back.

 

[beachbum29]

Is it starting to blow up there yet?

I'm here on the ocean in Flagler Beach & its really blowing here.

Be safe.

 

[beachbum29]

At Georgetown

 

[Daddyo]

It's really blowing here in Georgetown

 

[beachbum29]

BTW, who is Grace?

 

[sunchaser]

It's a Fathom 43

I still don't understand why a brand new boat has hull side ER vents. Is it cruising with its barn door open?

 

[THD]

Maybe the dolphins were trying to give you a little push!

 

[Daddyo]

Our other boats were named Amazing Grace and this being the third one it was going to get confusing. So we shortened it to Grace and I named my brokerage accordingly. I think Grace sort of sums up the ethos of trawler cruising. Thanks for asking.

They probably work for the Navy and attached eavesdropping devices to your hull...
