More Bull!!!

Returned from our trip a few days early in order to celebrate Charlie’s birthday with the family in Clearwater.
I laughed and laughed on this boat trip...
Our cousin, Ray Fortner and wife Betty, live in Pensacola, Florida.
Haven’t been around this cousin in years but knew that he had adventure in mind when he suggested the boat trip from Bro. Dockie’s book.
First of all the weather was really....HOT.
Getting a late start on Monday made being on the water at high noon - severe. Kenneth and Patsy joined us in their ‘nother new boat’.
While going down river, Kenneth hit something hard in the center of the channel....we believe a big gator moving slow. Anyway, enough of an impact to bend the blade of a brand new boats prop.
.....No problem...a crowbar comes out of the bilge....and we are on our way again....
Dockie explains the history of the areas we are going thru to Ray and Betty.
Yes, we do go the same run on which I run into the trees with the Milagro.
Who could help it....just look at the pictures on Link #1....Boat Trip Album and you can see how very easy it is to gather a few tree limbs on a big boat run.....The water was even lower this trip so we had to watch carefully for sand bars around every bend. Charlie did hit one going 900 miles an hour it seemed....I was sitting on a cooler taking pictures of the boats behind....the first thing I knew I was flat of my back with the cooler spilling ice and cold water all over me and the boat. We came to a complete stand still - immediately. No damage to boat, me....or camera. I made sure my camera was protected....no matter what.
Annie P. excelled again in her fish frying for the night. Specks were delicious...
Gator Bull was also served....EVERY DAY!
Laughter was....contagious.....poor Dockie got more than his share...he was stung by an ‘invisible varmint’ and had such a swollen upper lip that NO ONE could look at him without bursting out....LAUGHING!
We all tried, very seriously, to offer our condolences....just ask Ray.
Needless to say, the visit and trip was a huge success because a good time was had by all.....even ‘poor Dockie’.
Yes....It Is A Good Life!
And.....More To Come.......
