Prouboy,
I must admit to some struggle within myself as to how best to make this overture and have decided to do it for all to observe as opposed to PM.........This was to insure there was no ambiguity.

If you have a secure storage facility at Bookelia and would take full responsibility for it I have an excellent Kayak for your use if you so desire it. While not a true Ocean kayak it is a sit inside about 15 long with rod holders and "paddle holder".........in other words it is set up very nicely for fishing.

You have but to retrieve it and return it when you are finished. I am about 1.5 hours from pine island. In any event, wether you come for the boat or are seeking a diversion, make time to come out for some dinner and perhaps a board game worthy of outdoor enthusiasts......"Worst Case Scenario Survival Game"......Yes even the ladies like it  Wink

Hey MT -- WOW!  what a fantastic offer.  So very, very generous.  I will definitely take you up on it, and will be in touch. 

I'm sitting in Asheville, NC now, at a friends place.  I leave for Florida tomorrow at noon.  I'm ready!

Prouboy,

I never did get to hear how the fish turned out. Did you not try them? Where they no good? I had expected to hear from you. Maybe they do things differently up north  Wink.

Hi MT! 

I thought I mentioned eating your fish over the phone, and thanked you, but if not my sincere apologies. 

The fish were FANTASTIC.  THANKS!!!  My dearest beloved and I, along with 2 friends, feasted on them, with all the trimmings. 

My success at catching fish this month has been just so-so, but I've enjoyed the eating, thanks in large part to your generosity, has been outstanding.  We've also sampled the local seafood restaurants regularly.

And thanks again for lending me the kayak, all your advice, and again, the outstanding meal of grouper, (and mackerel?) 

I hope you were able to get the leak in your boat fixed.  No fun worrying about water coming into the boat!

I can honestly say I could stay here another month.  I plan to return, next time with a boat, and I'll be happy to take you out!   You were a wonderful host: incredible lunch, great advice, generous offer of kayak... I hope to have the chance to do the same someday. 

Again, if you pass through the Twin cities, be sure to look me up.

Cheers,

prouboy

And furthermore...

MT, I was thinking more about our visit this month.  I don’t agree with your politics, and I think the focus on politics (and all the anger) in QJ’s BTC thread  made this website less appealing to me. 

But having the chance to meet you, and getting to know you (even a little), supports comments made by someone in a previous post when he wrote, “I like all of you better when I don’t know your politics.” 

Bottom line, you seem like a fine fellow.  We wisely avoided politics when we got together.  There are some things better left unsaid.  But your generosity to me should not be left unstated.  We share the love of fishing, and canoeing the northwoods.  Good enough for me!

Very kind comments........

Prouboy is just as he purports himself here on QJ.......friendly as can be. I had so looked forward to our day on the water.

My Dad has located the hole in the boat. About the size of a matchstick head but it looks to be weak around the edges. I am calling a welder today. When do you leave?

You may have commented on the fish and it slipped by or I forgot. I am in way over my head with to much work and am constantly running on "E". Plus I have all this unusual grey stuff appearing on top of my head......... By now you might have figured out I like to pick at those I like  Wink.

I just might give you a call when in the twin cities by golly..........

MT
