I took a friend and his visiting brother-in-law out bottom fishing yesterday. on the way in just for the excitement I decided to take canoe pass under the deception pass bridge (the small passage) the water really gets moving thru there and the boat slipping/sliden but I always swing to the left just to make sure there is no other boats or kayaks coming out with the tide. anyway theres a blind corner and a puff of wind takes my hat of 5 years clean off my head.. Ive lost my hat before so I idle down and turn around to retrieve it and it lands right in the leading edge of an upwelling I watch in horror as my favorite hat goes down with the undertow. Now this wasnt your average fishing hat it was a G-loomis fear no fish hat that was black when I started wearing it but had faded to a nice sorta brown
color with the sun/salt/sweet of 5 years. Im going to have to throw flowers off the bridge every 1st of aprril....this is not a april fools joke....Im more bumed with the loss of my hat then I was when I shreded the first prop on my new boat....DJ
