That was put very well Having boated in So. California my whole life . Id love to know what cutters you were on here I spent a little time on the old Point Bridge out of MDR
They sold it to costa rica
CGC’s Steadfast (St. Pete, FL), Bear (Boston), Polar Star (Seattle).
Yeah, the Central Americans bought a lot of our old boats, didn’t they? Testament to how well the MK’s, EM’s and BM’s maintained them.
I spent some time on a Honduran patrol boat in 1987. That congressman that got gored by the goat pulled the same stunt that the CO of that boat did with a small deer on one of the islands we spent some quality BBQ time on.
We were lying in hammocks and this deer walks up like it was the family dog and was sniffing and licking. El Capitan grabs both of the antlers and that deer dropped its head and rammed him right in the thigh. Antler went in about three inches.
I laughed my ass off and then we bandaged him up and got him back aboard. He was fine. Good sea story.
