Been doing some p.t. crabbing this summer. not making much money but plan on expanding for next season. The addition of a refrigerated trailer is essential for this operation. I need to keep crabs alive for a few days after catching them . So the plan is buy a used trailer and insulate it. add a cool bot system and there is my refrigerated trailer. Bam !
Next random thoughts are planning the boat camping trip. It's so hot these days I haven't even been out on boat so I have time to think about boat stuff.
I'd like to do a #SO24 as #Rivendale calls the bike camping beginners technique. Kinda ease into the experience. Stay close to home, camp overnight and get the feel for it. I'll apply the same theory to boat camping. I guess it gets on eout of their comfort zone gradually. I'm not too concerned about my comfort zone as I'd like to get a few trips experience a d make sure I have what I need a d want on board. I won't be pulling up to any convince stores or grocery stores for supplies. I'll be #boondocking on a beach or anchored in a safe cove .
I'll need to prepare for a list of things from recharging phone,boat battery, sleeping gear, mosquitoe netting, cooler and ice management, cookware, camping cook stove, which will be my #coleman 1 burner green bottle #camping stove. For the SO24 I'll probably keep food simple. A few prepaid sandwiches and instant coffee for am. Bur for the multi day trips I'll need to carry food and cook. That'll be part of the fun. I could live on sandwiches but I want to cook alo g the way.
I'll have on board a few fishing rods also. 2 gallon of water for each planned day of camping plus some for reserve. I plan on exploring along the way. Not just hauling ass up the river. I want to stop and fish where ever looks interesting, stop and beach the boat and take. breaks and just look around. I'll definitely need to install a bimini top or red neck style it and use a patio umbrella for shade on the boat. Don't want full sun on me all day.
Logistics. park at boat ramp, leave truck and trailer. Risky for sure. Thrives stealing catalytic converters and gas all over.
