Our first Spring like weekend... A really beautiful week end. I spent most of Saturday finishing up the new website w/ Laurie and her husband Mark who is diligently cracking the code on my laptop so I can make these updates on the ride home from the fishing grounds. While we were stuck indoors, Captain Whit, little Dennis, and Eric enjoyed the spring weather and worked reinstalling India's Marie new Rudder bearing assembly at the boatyard.

Jeanette was kind enough to gather all the necessary little hooks, and various color tubing for little Eric's latest project. He's busy tying a hundred or so custom made fishing rigs that Captain Whit has designed for his summer guests aboard the Gath IV. Earlier in the week Frank, Jeanette and I got it all together and began pouring our 1st batch of "Burkett 16 oz jigs" for the 2010 season. Nice pic of Whit and the Bobinator with the finished product.



For those interested in my youngest grandson McCarey's wrestling progress. We got up Sunday morning at 5am and traveled to Thompson Me, just north of Bath for Sundays wrestling tournament at Mt. Ararat High School. McCarey took a strong 3rd place finish in the 75 pound class. losing his 1st match 6 to 4 on points, then cleaning up his next three opponents with a pin @40 sec, a 15 / 0 tech fall/and a pin in the 3rd round. Best Satch
