Meals on Reels
Meals on Reels is my dream come true. Being a boater for most of my life I have owned many boats of different styles and sizes. I started out with a 14' sportboat with a 35 horse outboard. This was used for fishing and water-skiing. I then bought a tri-hull boat and rebuilt the V-8 engine and did over the seats and carpeting.
After a long tow up to Maine with my buddy Dave, I found I should have rebuilt the transmission too. It burned up on the maiden voyage. After a long tow home while putting water into the radiator of the old Dodge Polara several times we finally made it back to CT. This vessel was traded in on a new 18.5' Sea-Sprite bowrider. This boat lasted through Rhode Island vacations, lots of skiing on the Connecticut river and even a trip to Block Island. Next came "Moonlighting" a 24' SunRunner which had all the ameneties a couple needed. Sue and I had a lot of great times on this boat traveling to Block and Rhode Island with friends. Tending my own lobster pots and eating lobster at Hamburg Cove were memorable times. After some time off and starting a family I purchased the "Reel Therapy" with my buddy Nick. We ran that vessel for 3 good years with trips offshore to the canyons for tuna and mahi. Block Island and the Hamptons were back in the picture.
The Brewers boat yard in Mystic was a great summer hangout. The latest chapter in my boating story came about after I had a vision while laying in the hospital after getting broadsided in a car crash while on my way to turn in the Pacifica. My dream of having a boat with better fuel economy, a smooth ride room for lots of fishing all and lots of room for fishing came clearer in my mind. The next day I was with my extended family on a vacation in Mexico. I remembered the perfect boat from the boat show the previous year. An e-mail later I found out it was still at the dealers and the boat show was only a week away. After making a great deal I ended up the owner of a vessel which has won accolades and is proven in the offshore arena.
