MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit OK, I admit it, I was going to put "size does count" in the subject line, but then you would have done what I do with messages like that! But size and speed do count on a pelagic boat. I was able to confirm today that the smallest and slowest boat we'll use on November 16 is the 85', 18-20 knot Thelma Dale IV! I've been avoiding the truely big boats that these folks own, as so many BIG boats I've been out on have been sssslllllllooooooowwwwwwwww. Well, not these big boats. They're over 100 feet and do thirty (that's not a typo, that's 30!) knots!!!! The near legendary 'Country Girl' from Manteo doesn't cruise THAT fast. Anyway, we will not be on the Pappy's Lady (which is a nice boat), we'll be on one of the larger, faster boats. Now that we're on a big boat, we've got plenty of room for you. The trip is 6AM to 5 PM and space is available. See the website at www.paulagics.com or contact SLP at 215-234-6805 or info@paulagics.com I also confirmed some more dates for MD/DE pelagics out of Lewes. See Life Paulagics will be running a trip on March 15, and we've just set dates for June 7 and August 16. These last two trips are so new the information isn't on the website yet, but it should be up in a few days. March 15's info is posted, it's 6AM to 5 PM. June 7 is a 6AM to 6PM, and August 16 is a 5AM to 7PM deepwater trip. All trips are to MD and DE waters. Thanks for your interest in reading this far!
