The cockpit on that boat is almost as big as yours. You guys should have a nun-carrying contest...

Small boats, long distances...
No way. Those Nuns used to whack me pretty good back in Catholic School. Kicked me out after 5th grade.
Not saying I didn't deserve it.
Commanderpete, she -who-must-be-obeyed does most of the fishing on my ol'boat. It is a fire drill when she hooks on to something in the boat..a line, a cushion or me...or some big stripper. But she catches them, cleans them and cooks them. The problem I have is where to store all of her rods and tackle. By the way I went out to the Grumman airfield (Indian head or River...at the end of Long Island) to put an engine in an Navy F4j back in the early 1970's. I was an aircrewman, Navy A3d 's (all three dead) but also served with Strike Aircraft Div. Pax River (test center) we had A6's, A4's, F4's (even a Blue Angle Phantom 839) F-14's, F-8's, Harriers,. I even put together an Army Bronco..oh and when we were attched to the test pilot school had a B26 or 17 the two engine one from WWII, painted red, used to test something. Great photo of your good ol' boat, she looks great. I like the flag flapping on the stern, nothing looks as good as ol' Glory on a sailboat underway.

That's a good woman.
For rod storage, I have to see if somebody makes a rack that I can mount in one of the Commander's giant cockpit lockers. Otherwise, I'm planning to install some PVC pipes back there. Maybe suspend them from the ceiling, and figure out a way keep them from banging around.
I really need to get back in those lockers and make all that storage space more usable.
Might get one of those canvas covers for the fishing net, which tends to get hung up on things.
Then I'll be ready
