Hey Jeff,

I really surprises me how I can launch at the same ol' AO and I can continuously carry out a hand full of fresh trash left by others each time.
I'm not talking about the typical flooding and draining trash and debris, I'm talking about the fresh trash that I pick up from others above the Mean Tide line.
I really don't mind picking it up ... and besides it always looks great when I look back at the area after it's all been cleaned up ... it gives me a sense of pride as a care taker of my fisheries and waters to do this.

I'm not sorry to report Sir ... that I didn't CPR this particular PB! Very Happy
