Wednesday I Had a chance to take the boat for a run. Plan was to run from Alberni to Bamfield for some fishing but my luck it was windy and my dad was not up for a rough trip. We decided to try for some sockeye but no luck. We did find it very amusing, however, listening to the commercial fisherman chatter on the VHF about how ****** the fishing was. And how many boats had run through their nets. The run back from China Creek to Alberni was a good test for the old Double Eagle 1.5 to 2 foot chop with the odd three footer and it handled it with ease kept the cruise speed at 22 miles an hour and even when you hit a three footer, the flare would just push the water out, not a drop on the windshield and no banging or slapping she cut into the waves with ease I was super impressed. I’m super happy with the boat many more days of fishing to come.
