Ms Jones and I headed west in search of some fresh protein. We were able to get one nice King and a respectable Halibut. Weather was rainy wet and cold, and Sasta preformed exceptionally well. Going out we were driving into 3 and 4 foot steep chop. I was able to back down on the throttle and plane over the waves at 14 knots. I am impressed on how this boat can stay on plane at such low speed and float over the waves, unlike those heavy aluminum boats. Also, we spent a few days with the weather poring rain in the low forties. Great thing is that the boat hull does not sweat one drop, and the heater kept us toasty warm. Again, a benefit of wood vs aluminum. More adventures as summer comes to Southeast Alaska.
