Miscalculations

Yesterday I miscalculated a couple of things.  One, how many fish that we were going to see.....despite ideal conditions, there was no sight casting, but plenty caught on the bottom.
Two, I miscalculated how much gas it was going to take to propel my Parker in search of cobia and return all the way back to the dock.   We didn't make it.   I've got to thank Derek Jordan for the tow, it wasn't the first time that he's pulled me home......

In all fairness, my fuel gauge is busted, I have now confirmed the malfunction, it still reads half a tank.   I need to also thank Capt. Chris Kimrey for towing me to the Gulf Docks earlier in the week.  Yup, as the dockmaster said to me yesterday.  "Not again!".
