Well, sort of. Once again the winds are howling and the temps plummeting. It's at 47 degrees this morning. Winds 20-25 out of the NE. My charter for the day backed out (can't say I blame them) and tomorrows not looking to good either. This past weekend I attended a running event with a group of strangers from around the US. It got me to thinking about my time spent on the boat with new clients every day. I've once heard another seasoned guide say, "Taking a guided trip on a backcountry skiff is akin to spending eight hours in a locked bathroom with a stranger". You've got to make the most of the time with your new best friend or its going to be a very long day. Luckily I enjoy people (the fishings just an added bonus for me) and the experiences they bring onboard. Hopefully the five other folks I spent 191 miles with in a sweaty, smelly cramped van while running, eating and sleeping in for 36 hours to Key West, felt the same way. Here's hoping your next charter doesn't feel like its spent in a jiffy John.
