Nice to meet you! I can’t wait.

I’m hoping to find something I can ride every year, this trip is perfect schedule-wise. I’ve been on the Excel a couple times, so I know I like the boat too.

Today things changed. No current and just a few fish. Will keep at it. Lots of customers will watch the playoffs on tv via starlink weather continues to be very nice and everyone is having a great trip.
