Sad Day

Running in Saturday afternoon after a good day on the water we were greated
by rain and very choppy water created from constant pleasure boat traffic.
Now usually it is not a problem seeing the wakes created by those boats but
the combination of gray skies, along with the rain in my eyes and about
60mph ( I know , slow down) I didn't see a wake that was created by 2 boats
crossing and hit it wide open we ended only turning about 10 degrees but it
was enough to launch 2 of my baitcasters overboard. One we found floating
(thank god graphite is so light ) and the other (a Lamiglass rod I tied up
with a 100B baby bantam) could not be recovered :-(. That is about a $230
lesson I learned.. SLOW DOWN!
