It certainly is with mixed feeling that I announce the sale of the Fire Escape. 7 wonderful years of fishing and meeting a lot of great people on the docks. It is mostly for medical reasons that I've come to realize that now is the time. Arthritis is no one's friend!!!

The new owner (some of you have already met) is Alan Diep, and he will be moving the boat up to Huntington Beach on the 30th. He plans to spend this weekend on the boat with is family. If you get a chance stop by and say hi. The really good news is that Alan is a fisherman and plans on using the boat a heck of a lot more than I have the last two years. The boat couldn't have gone to a nicer guy!

If some of you on "J" dock find you're short of fishing friends give me a call. I still have all my gear!

Special thanks to Jeff, Russ and Phil for all the times I used your trailers. Don't know what I would have done without you guys!
