Sounds like a fun trip.  Hope its a big boat that takes you 25 miles from land.  I've been on Lake Erie fishing and oh my god did that get rough.  We were less than a mile from mainland.  Hope you catch a 60 lb laker.

Jeff,

   Did you ever hear the old joke "If a man is in a boat 100 miles from the nearest woman and he says something, is he still wrong?" Maybe after your upcoming sojourn you can answer that question for all of us once and for all. :D

More to come, but this is the best we could do for a pic of it. Foggy the entire time. 1.5 hrs out, 1 hour in.  27 miles out in the fog.

Id be pretty creeped out just cruising into the abyss like that.

How creeped out would you be when about 10 miles out the captain starts looking at the back of the boat and says we are riding low, then stops the boat to see that we had taken on water from somewhere and pumped the bilges before we got back under way.
