Soooooooooooooo i took the big leap and bought live crickets and u know how i hate that-------------sooooooooooooooo tomorrow between the rains i thought i would drowned a few n the canals-although its never been known for any size on this end of the chain-------------boat needs another shakedown cruise, since the first one last week after 6 months was a nightmare------waaaaay down the canal----raised the motor for what ever dumb reason i had at the time---------wouldnt go back down------------prop out of the water--------oh well------ill just troll home---------------not------------------no no no power on trolling motor batteries almost dead. Threw an anchor 6 or 7 times and pull myself over to some ones dock. Call jack (nurse) come down here and release this dddd motor and why are my batteries dead???? -------------did u put that fuse back in for my lights when i said nt to???????????? Would u please go get the neighbor to tow me home-------sure enough here he and jack come about 2 minutes before a downpour from h--. All the way home--------course im under my canopy on my boat,but there was not one on the other---------so lets hope shake down goes better tomorrow. Stand bye for sat eve shake down report part 2
