It’s been a long time coming, but I’ve finally gone off the deep end and purchased a boat. Living in Santa Cruz, fishing with Gabe, and loving the ocean in general have conspired to drive me temporarily insane. I’ve kept my eye open for a particular model of boat for some years, and I finally chanced on one a guy was selling out near Fresno. A quick drive to check out the boat and the deal was almost done. A few weeks later that resolved an engine problem and we’ve got a new addition to the family. The C-Dory 16 foot Angler model may be small, but it’s one awesome boat, especially for these waters. Welcome little Nemo to the family.
