Well, we decided to put a chart plotter on the upper helm.  It also has a depth sounder that works.  Driving without a depth sounder was OK while we were on the river, a place we knew like the back of our hand :), but for strange waters, especially those that are 50 feet deep but are so clear they look like it is only 5 feet deep, a depth sounder is a must. So, I’ve made another entry under “From the Engine Room” if you’re interested. Those that aren’t, I have some more pictures of Hank

Nice Close up of Hank

He is our only amusement at night and Smokie especially likes to watch him.  Every night Hank comes fishing.  One night I couldn’t sleep and I got up in the middle of the night to read.  Hank had just caught dinner and he was standing there with two small fish in his mouth, I suppose he was waiting for them to die so he could eat them.  At least he is a quiet neighbor and doesn’t throw loud parties 🙂
