I have debated over the past several weeks when to post an offer I would like to extend to soldiers who have completed their rotations or are on leave this coming summer. Part of me thought I should hold out until this spring. However, I have no sense of how many takers I will get and I may need to put this offer out there a few times, depending on when you all may be around. I want to take you fishing! My first mate and I have a combined, well, let's just say, a lot of years on the water. I have a 27' fishing boat in Port Washington Harbor. I am reserving 4 five-hour outings for troops returning from Irag or Afghanistan plus one guest of their choice. Charter boats charge around $350 - $450 for an outing like this. I do not run a charter as a profession, but we keep up with any charter on the water. We'll do all the work and all you have to do is come and enjoy some time on the water. Email me at gsgrainger@yahoo.com if you are interested. Put "I Love to fish" in the subject line, so you don't get mixed in with the spam. Thanks for your service and Godspeed in your mission. Go Pack!
