Merry Christmas!

Wishing you tidings of Comfort and Joy, and a very Merry Christmas!

The PVC cart that worked so well for the kayak, failed miserably under the Gheenoe. I put 2x3 runners on top of this garden cart, and, so far, it seems like it's going to work pretty well! I'm still looking for a boat trailer, but I think this will do nicely for getting the boat around when I carry it on the rack. . #Gheenoe #GheenoeLaunch #GheenoeCart #improvising #cart #kayakcart #boattrailer #portage #dualpurpose #flyfishing #canoeing #saltwaterflyfishing #backcountryflyfishing #TheSuburbanAngler

Finally got around to putting the website name on the Fishin' Rig! No more running redlights or cutting people off in traffic for me, I guess. . #TheSuburbanAngler #FishinRig #website #sticker #decal #vinylgraphics #fishing #flyfishing #truck #Ram2500 #StickerMule #SuburbanAnglerRecommended

Got a new addition to the Fishin' Rig today! I've wanted a Softopper for a while and I really think I'm going to like having it. Glad it fit under the rack, so I can still haul the Gheenoe or kayak. Now to decide if I need dual rod carriers up there.... . #Softopper #FishinRig #ladderrack #truckbedtopper #towrig #rvlife #DoesThisMakeMeAnOverlander #overland #NoBaskets #NoRoofTents #Ram2500 #flyfishing #flyfishinggear #gearprotection #TheSuburbanAngler

The Saltwater Angler - Key West

 I had to check out The Saltwater Angler while we were in town! Very friendly folks and lots of good gear packed into a small shop!

Spotted my first Scrub Jay while the Little Girl and I were out for a bike ride in Jonathan Dickinson State Park last week!!! Truth be told, I spotted a photographer's 2-foot long telephoto lense pointing at it first, but I was still glad to see a fairly rare bird that you hear a lot about in central Florida. . #scrubjay #birdspotting #birdsofinstagram #JonathanDickinsonStatePark #HobeMountain #HobeSound #Jupiter #Florida #FloridaWildlife #FLOutdoors #habitat #TheSuburbanAngler

Did a bit of new launch scouting in the rain today.

Caught up on a little reading (and iced coffee!!) on the beach this morning. Thinking about a Blue Ridge Parkway excursion in the fall, thanks to a recent post from Unicoi Outfitters! Really enjoying the guide book! I'll get a review of some kind posted once I carve out enough time to finish reading it! . #BeachReading #beach #bookreview #FlyFishingTheBlueRidgeParkway #BlueRidgeParkway #guidebook #flyfishingguidebook #flyfishingbook #FallFlyfishingTrip #excursion #campingtrip #fishingtrip #flyfishingtrip #flyfishing #rving #camping #TheSuburbanAngler

Woo-hoo!! Motor made it! The battery, however, appears to be stranded in Miami. Rain chances are low until the weekend, so, if the battery shows up, we might get an evening test drive in!! . #NewportVessels #ElectricOutboard #trolling motor #GheenoeGear #Gheenoe #Highsider #SavingPenniesForAMerc #outboard #boating #flyfishing #FLOutdoors #FlyfishFL #TheSuburbanAngler

So, the battery charger arrived Friday, the battery box yesterday, the motor was unable to be delivered and the battery still hasn't shipped. All four were in the same order and scheduled to arrive on Saturday. It'll all come together eventually!!😁👍🤞 . #GheenoeGear #NewportVessels #smartbatterybox #trollingmotor #Gheenoe #Highsider #FLOutdoors #flyfishing #flyfishinggear #FlyfishFL #TheSuburbanAngler

Took the Gheenoe out for another quick paddle yesterday and tried to do some fishing. I discovered quickly that I'm going to need some kind of anchor system or stakeout pole because the slightest breeze really pushes this boat around!

Looking forward to taking the Gheenoe out again, but it seems we're experiencing a national trolling motor shortage!
