Grey job, congrats @Nick Clayton !

Agreed… even though they’ve been lots of times where I’m dying to figure out where someone was fishing, I don’t want them divulging it to the world. I actually enjoy sometimes playing detective and cruising Google maps, trying to figure out where someone was.

True (arguably), but those are still values that we should aspire to.

It was weird how it suddenly got so gusty and stormy this afternoon, after being so nice and sunny. Glad you got off the water safely! Those are some nice perch too!
