Krooz News...

Shhh...do you hear that? Neither do I...it's because a very reliable source told me over the weekend that the fat lady hasn't sung yet. Hating to leave anything unfinished, Captain Ned informed me that he plans to continue the Kayak Krooz when hurricane season is over and he gets some favorable winds. He said "my plan was to kayak to Florida and damn it I'm gonna do it". "I want to get dropped off on the same damn beach and finish what I started".

Saturday 7/12/2008 pretty much consisted of kicking back on the dock with ice cold gold tops and hearing all about the first leg of the captains trip. Well...some of us were drinking gold tops...Gary was drinking Lite, but we decided to let him slide because he had on his Mott shirt, and besides it left the good stuff for us. This went on all afternoon until hunger set in, then we were off like a cannon shot to Rusty Bellies Waterfront Grill for a very fine meal. After dinner we ran and got some more gold tops so we could continue our bull sh!t session on the dock.

We got another hour or two in on the dock before the thunder storms rolled in. The storms didn't slow us down though, we just moved over into the shed and kept right on going, never missing a beat. The shed, which is pictured behind Gary, is actually a section that was cut off of an old ship. The BS session went on in there for several more hours. The pictures of Gary and I with the captain weren't taken until about 4 or 4:30 in the morning. I'll tell you what...Captain Ned is a damn party animal. The sun was on the rise before our heads hit a pillow. Good times! I am proud to be a damnMott.

Moving back to the continuation of the Kayak Krooz, we cant lie, we're not exactly sure when it will happen. 'Ol Ned says it depends on the weather and that he'll make that decision when the time comes. In the mean time the blog will lay dormant for a while, but before that happens Capt. Ned has a few things that he would like to say.

Stay tuned for words from the Captain Ned...
