Back to a normal life! After about two months of in and out of the hospital,seven endoscopic surgeries on my pancreas and stomach, losing 50+ pounds, I am on the recovery road! I’ve managed to gain back about 25 pounds, strong enough to load the pirogue, and grateful.Seems I had a 14 cm diameter pseudocyst in my pancreas. Guess it almost killed me--but it didn’t! Iwas a firm believer in prayer-- now I’m a fanatic!
Anyway that’s behind us, we are still in Texas but will be going home to Kansas next week. I have been working (slowly) on the JEM Crawdad I left here last winter, just about done.
Been able to fish 2 times this week. Yesterday was too windy but I went to lake Georgetown anyway, which led to a surprise I didn’t expect from the high sided square back original Crawdad. Wind was 20- 25 paddled across the lake into the wind, no problem. However, when I came back with the wind from the stern, the boat wanted to turn around 180 degrees and point into the wind. Was actually hard to maintain a line back to the truck. I finally just let the wind take me to the truck with the nose pointed backwards . I love that little stable boat--BUT that was a surprise! Still a great evening on the lake!
More later,
Good Fish’n
