Hey Geoff:
Been thinking about you a lot lately, the trip, the mothership, etc. as I get into this new one. I wanted to thank you again for a wonderful few days out there. It was a real pleasure that I'm sure I'll remember forever.

I'm also using a Mothership like vessel in my story--I haven't looked yet, but I assume I can find a lot of the specs on the website. If not, is there some handy way you can send me the tonnage, length, etc. so I can give the ship a better description.

You also mentioned A Land Remembered, which I said I'd read. But if I read it, I don't remember it at all. Maybe I just started it once and put it down. I'm halfway through it now and loving every second of it. What a wonderful evocation of that time and place. It's a great story and one I'm going to try to use parts of in mine. Thanks for bring it to my attention.

Anyway, hope your season is going well and all is happy with the family. Again, thanks so much for your guidance and inspiration.

Thank-you Geoff... It is my good fortune to fly fish around the world for a living, including my own fly fishing trips to the Everglades; so I get to see some great fishing locations. And yet, fishing the Florida Everglades with Geoff is one of the highlight trips of the year. Year after year. Geoff's vast knowledge and enthusiasm for the area is unsurpassed. Easy going and good humor are also part of the days fishing. And his poling approach to sighted fish, always makes my casting as easy as it can be under the challenging circumstances. My son Stephen and I, have taken many double figure snook with Geoff. And then when he takes you in the back country, way back where only and handful can go, at best, it is like seeing the glades as it must have been hundreds of years ago. A labyrinth of red mangroves, tunnels, saw grass buttonwoods, creeks, lakes and bays, mixed with snook, redfish, tarpon, largemouth bass and bull sharks. It is one of my favorite places to fly fish in the world.

Till next fishing trip, su amigo,

Hi Geoff:
Once again, I'd like to fish tarpon with you again next spring. After hooking that giant tarpon I guess you can say I'm the one who got hooked... now I just have to figure out how I can spend more time tarpon fishing with you!

I'd like to go fishing with you for three or four days during the first, second, or third week of May if you have anything available.

Regards,
