I towed her back to the WI without an issue. I kept admiring her in the rearview mirror on the drive home. No surprise really, isn't that the way all the new relationships feel?
Exciting and fresh...this MUST be love!
I cut the anchor ropes and pulled my Cobra oar locks off of Jon. As I did, I couldn't help but think about our shared history and the joy. Kick-ass small mouth outings on the big river, dragging her across the brutal rocks to fish hex's in MN, the Nipigon...she was there for my first 20+" brookie.
I felt like a middle aged guy leaving his longtime wife for a 26 year old hottie.
Oh, she was hot alright, but the memories nagged me.
Luckily, Jon Johnson is heading to a new home up North to fish with the a fine new owner.
Godspeed Jon....godspeed.
The new boat is trick. Batttleship gray and ready for combat. Everything I always wanted.
And a new chapter begins.

Very nice man! My jon is a 1542 and I love how stable she is. Plus with the new 20hp jet she can go anywhere. Congrats on the new rig!

Thanks Isaiah. I am in the middle of rigging the new boat. I love working on boats. Every day when I walk out into my garage and see the Alweld sitting there I think..."Nice!"
