Oh, no, Ronny!

You won't catch me on one of those things!

I was always afraid of one thing on board of any vessel, and it wasn't sinking, it was fire.

The thought of having no control over that excludes me from sailing on one, much to the lovely Carols disappointment.

When I first started driving for a living , in 1978 . Thirty three years ago . I arrived at the port of Miami in the middle of the night . As the sounds of the morning woke me up , and I steped out of the truck . There was a cruise ship only a couple hundred feet away . Seeing it , for thirty three years now . I wanted to go on a cruise .
I would thing . You , JJ and a few other salty dogs could turn a cruise ship into a fishing vessel .
I'll bet it could pull a net , and not slow down . Just think . A fishing boat with a swimming pool . a casino , ballroom , dinning halls , and to stay fit , a full gymnasium . Enough room to have a crew of a couple thousand .
I sent you an E-mail a couple of weeks ago . I was worried about you and all my friends up the East coast . When the hurricane blew through . I saw complaints about people losing power and it not being restored with a snap of a finger . A couple hundred power crews were passing through here Friday before the storm made landfall Monday .

I just had to play with this idea . On a cruise ship you would have to walk to work . Not roll out of the bunk , and be at work 20 feet away . You would have to shower , shave and put on a tuxedo , to go to dinner . With only special invitation dine with the captain . Making sure you watch your language in front of the captain and the many guest . Remember to complement the chef . I know your chuckling at that this .
We love the pictures of the fishing boats . I'm making light of how life must be there .
I wish not to distract others from making their comments .

Plenty of condos there now, dog.

Back in the day, not long ago, there was nothing but fish boats.

Thats the best time, though, dog!

Theres no one around, and the treasures you find can be awesome.

Lobsters, big sea clams, you never know.

Just remember, its illegal to molest lobster gear washed up on the beach!

Honey, I'd much rather be with you and those cute little green bugger's!

It's a lot nicer now than it was twenty five years ago when it was a major fish town.

Was the ambiance better when it was a major fishing town?

You just come on over, Kona is a drinking town with a fishing problem! Just the other day a small pickup truck pulled onto the road from the harbor with a marlin in the bed that was too big and hung over the end! That was such a cool sight.lol

Well, js, back then, not too many there would've known what ambiance was or meant, let alone say it. lol

A hard workin, hard livin' hard drinkin' waterfront with some very colorful characters.

Kona sounds like my kinda town!

I thought that might be the case of the before and after, bore-head and before would be my preference. None of that fancy stuff, just plain fun. My Pop worked in a steel mill and his buddies were a lot of fun and didn't get all proper on anyone.

Awesome shots, miss the water. Hopefully be able to go to visit family next summer (niece is graduating). Brother in law has a couple boats (river & ocean) & we always go out a couple times when we are out there visiting (Oregon). Also hope one of these years to come out & visit your area, it is beautiful & my wife has never been to the east coast. That needs to be remedied.
