After two months of sleepless nights, and a suspected stomach ulcer, Clint's new boat finally finished the last leg of it's 3000 mile journey from Crane Hill, Alabama to Nanaimo, B.C. on February 27. The boat arrived safe and sound in Blaine Washington where Clint and his dad met up with it in a mall parking lot. A quick trip over the border to Canada and on to it's new home with us. Clint was like a little kid at Christmas, tearing off the shrink wrap in the driveway, doesn't take much to make him happy. He actually sliced a little hole in the wrap at the ferries and slid in to have a look. My reaction, it's big! It's also in showroom condition, truly mint. Apparently we needed it for the baby, so I guess it's here to stay. After a few minor modifications, ie: downriggers, rod holders and a kicker, it will be ready to FISH HARD on the wild west coast. One bonus, there's no carpet, you just hose out the fish blood, nice!
