Alternator replaced and back on the road.

Got in a good day of fishing yesterday with brother and two of his grand-kids -- 5 and 10 year olds. Made it back with both kids and no bloody marks. All things considered, the 5 year old did great being on the boat for 6 hours with limited shade. She did have one close call with a hook...

Cleaned and filleted a good catch (41 - all in the 8-10 inch range) of crappie and perch. I have 30 packed in my freezer...

Headed south on Thursday with a few days in Sacramento before back to San Diego.
