-> My luck, the whale will just hed back to my home port.  ;)
Dan: Years ago I knew someone who had an elaborate setup to catch a
large Muskie using a canoe, mouse and heavy line! Anyways after being
towed around the lake and running out of steel line the big one got
away.
-> Not a good feeling, I'm sure...  Did it happen in the middle of the
-> night?  If so, waking up and looking into the tree branches must have
-> been a bit startling!
Actually the boat probably set the anchor when it drifted towards the
shore. The boat stopped drifting when the the water was about a foot
shallower. The wind was blowing towards the shore. This happened while
we were having a shore lunch. I think part of the problem was my brother
failed to let out enough anchor line, but no problem anyways. I haven't
spent the night out yet, next year will be seeing some overnight or
longer trips. I don't know what to expect on longer trips, six hour
sailings and I have experienced sea legs, I guess longer trips might
mean crawling around on hands and knees back on shore.
