Crypt Car Brake Failure

I never did care much for excuses.

The Grey Ghost and the Red Mako are always
functional and available for friends to use.

Cozy guest bedroom with private bath ain't too shabby
either. Ask David.

What is it Bob Barker always says?

"Come on down!"

No excuses needed and airfare from BWI is cheap.
Bring a few orange and blue surgical tube trolling lures
when ya come. The tackle shops don't sell them here.

You fishing for barracuda? that's what i use the surgical tube lures for. I made my own. Although I can't recall seeing blue tubing.
 
Dale, I'm sure that there have been a lot of changes since 1957. I loved it then. But what did I know I was only 19 and the Navy was paying my way. I remember the smells of the flowers etc. I tell my wife that she has no idea of what pineapple really tastes like till she has one ripe and fresh from the field.
 
Bob- wanted to see what tubes might catch here in the tropics.
I introduced a few friends to Rebel "Stubby" lures. Snook and
'Cuda go nuts for them when trolled at slow speeds.

In Maryland we used blue tubes to catch? What else? Bluefish!

KC- still the best pinas in the Caribbean are grown in
Barceloneta, PR. Those yellow fruit things they sell in
states taste nothing like stalk ripened bananas. We have
about 20 types of bananas grown here. I like the ones the
size of my thumb.

Hi Dale!
I have no further advice to add, or fishing stories to tell, but I just read the entire thread, and it seems to me that the entire Triumph community on this forum is pulling for you, and we have even "adopted" Crypty as our pet project.

With this kind of support, literally from all around the world, you and the ever-tolerant Wendy can overcome any obstacle!

Take a break and come back to it with fresh energy, and you'll get it done!
Simon.
