End of an era

Adi,

Thanks for formal explanation. Appreciated - and will miss - direct view of launch and game of "who's car is on the beach now" for so many years.

Hope all's well with you.

1) Congrats on a nice fish!

2) Would that the practice of LJ kayak fisherfolk (be they young or not-so-young) posting relevant/recent info. here would become the norm again.

3) Muchas gracias...

One didn't need to be part of the "old guard" to know Rod, although many of us have had the true pleasure for years (15 in my case). I won't run through the history or tell tales of great times and...
