Re: sweet salty ride
Yes, THATS THE NICES BOAT IN A LONG TIME TO LAND HERE.
It caught my eye going to Garibadi this morning
Went and looked at it from Old Mill Marina side.
WOW.
I wish i could post a picture of this vessile because it is a peice of work.
The flying bridge exterior stantion is a sight to behold in its self.
The boat flys a flag new to me.
I just wonder if it is going south or north.
The boat on the bow is the same size of the boat that we take 40 miles offshore.
Name;;; NORTH WIND
Documantation;;BIIKINI M.I.
All i can think of is BIKINI, MIDWAY ISLAND.
Am thinking of being a pest and show up on the dock and look,well for any way to inspect this boat,
We seem to get 1 or 2 of these a year.
Crazyinoregon, can you get photos?

Re: sweet salty ride
I will be up that way tomorrow morning. if they are still there i will snap a pic. I think they may have been waiting to get out though. the vhf said that there were 10-12 footers breaking today at the bar and all i know is that we sat in fog fishing for the better part of today freezing our keesters off. hopefully they will be there and i can snap a photo

Re: sweet salty ride
MI is the Marshall Islands. My Brother lived on Kwajalein which the US leases. Warm blue water and big fish. I got my first tuna and wahoo there. Cool place if you can get past the king living in multi-million dollar condos while his people starve.

zip zero nadda.....had the same bait on for the whole day. didnt see any action and the weird part was i didnt even get the usual drive by. I think they must have migrated or something. talked to a couple other guys on different parts of the bay and the reports were simillar.
cheers

Re: sweet salty ride
Bikini Atoll is in the Marshall Islands and was used during the A-Bomb tests back in late 40's and early 50's. Eniwetok was a support base. I was stationed on Kwajalein in 58&59.
