Didn't make it out yesterday, only had 8 customers in the harbor. Decided to go for fuel.....$3.21 a gallon!! Gas on the pump was .20 cheaper! How the hell is that! Diesle used to be the cheapest thing out there, Oh that's right, Winter is coming, so all the home owners now get their chance at getting screwed! It's beyond me how people aren't going nuts, unless the newspeople just don't report it. Money controls everything that we are told, hell we keep hearing how great the economy is, yet people can't afford their mortgages or insurance. The 1.7 trillion dollars that has been spent on Afganastan and Iraq is going to cost the average family $20,000 over the years, double that if the war keeps going! 1.7 trillion could have provided health care to everyone in this country!! I better quit while I'm ahead, this IS SUPPOSED to be a fishing report so here goes...After swallowing the $2,500 fuel bill yesterday, took a ride to look at the ocean,. see if there was any life....Naturally, just off the beach, where we fished yesterday, a mile of birds working, fish busting!! The worst part of November, it's a transition month, the NWesterlies come through and blow a gail! We could always fish down the beach when enough customers show...yesterday and today, they didn't. capt.ron
