We Looked, saw who it was, we knew him.( apache) Bob said we will catch him, I said no, he is already out in the bay and got a jump on us!! He said you watch! Pumped another good 5 mins worth of fuel in, (over 100 gal was taken on) and then we left. Had to idle out of the 6mph zone, then he was on it. We knew where he was going to hang out so we were going the same way, Bob was realing him in fast! As seconds passed by we were gaining quick only running inbetween 60- 70. Long story short we caught him got along side, Bob put his hand up to signal throttle down, he sped up, we satyed right with him (easy) Bobs hand up again to go he went again, we stayed with him. Did this until The Apache was rung out!! The Apache owner put both hands in the air signaling that all he had!! We both waved good bye and good bye it was indeed! pulled away so fast from him it looked like he just turned his key off!!! conditions were 2-3' chop (walk in the park for the 41' velocity') We were anchored in our spot drinking a chilly one before he showed up!! And that was with old power my friends. I cant imajine what kinda power this boat is going to have after all these upgrades.
They were many good times with BP. Pictures are looking great, hope progress is still going well.
Thanks Dave, That was another good day. What was funny, the Apache owner said, I'm almost empty with fuel, if I had some fuel I think I could have kept up. I laughed and said go get some fuel, and we had 15 mph on you so I don't think so. LOL
