That's too funny! I lived in RI for almost 8 years, and when I 1st bought my boat Kezsr came up for a weekend of fishing. The bass bite was on, and I thought I knew Narragansett Bay after only about 5 trips! Boy was I wrong.....I was trying to fish off Patience and Prudence Islands in RI and got TOTALLY lost. Total pea soup!
Motored out to the spot where I thought I should be, Kezsr says there's the island I'm looking for!
Only problem, there were HUGE homes on the shoreline, and the islands I'm looking to fish were ubinhabited!
If I recall, we dropped and anchor and made an attempt until the fog lifted!
Now mind you, I had only run the boat a handful of times and never ever looked at the compass! No GPS, just a FF. and a compass.
I can see how some Capt's get aggravated, cause I was one of those guys!
