| Royal Polaris - Maintenance Update |
|
Fri May 16 2008, 01:56PM
Thursday May 15, 2008 Hi everyone! Work aboard the Royal Polaris continues at an organized chaotic pace. Steve Loomis and Frank continue to chase parts, organize jobs to be done and get the right people down to the boat at the right time. Frank even got to sand on the hull for a couple of hours - which relieved some stress. Billy is becoming quite the welder and fabricator on small jobs. There were an unbelievable amount of man hours put into grinding the hatches that were cut to remove the engines. The starboard hatch was completed by 7pm. The port hatch should be completely welded in by noon on Friday. The painting crew will be glossing the bulworks and the entire hull on Saturday and Sunday. We do the 1st coat on Saturday and the 2nd on Sunday. The Green guard rail and boot stripe will get 2 coats on Monday. The entire crew will be working through the weekend and I will not bother you with another report until Monday.

| Excel Sportfishing - Quality Was Outstanding |

Thu May 15 2008, 11:40AM
Hello Anglers,Our last day of fishing out here didnt differ too much from how things have been going for us. We were only able to tag 9 fish today, but the quality was outstanding! Our big fish of the day was brought over by Peter Gammarano who landed a giant yellowfin that taped out at 315 lbs! Our second largest fish was caught by Larry Nelson who managed to land one that taped out at 258lbs, We also landed 7 other fish for the day ranging from70-190lbs. We will be leaving here at dark and get a start on our long trek back towards home. We intend on making a stop in a few days somewhere off the beach and try to snag some yellows and maybe a white seabass or two. Justin

| Excel Sportfishing Hooked Eight Heavies |
|
Mon May 12 2008, 09:28AM
Yesterday was tough for us with the weather increasing and no real sign of big fish. What a difference a day makes! We were lucky enough to get on a school of straight big ones early in the morning just after it cracked gray. The school stuck with us for a while and we hooked eight heavies at the same time. We were able to land six of the eight; 191,204,218,266,288, and a 291. Big fish honors go to Big Al The Fisherman's Pal with a giant 291 pounder he hooked on the Yummee Flyer. After we left that drift we were able to scratch another 15 fish from 40-125 pounds. Hopefully this wind backs off a little and gives us a chance to get on another school tomorrow.

Sun May 11 2008, 12:36PM
Hi Folks,Saturday was a very busy day. We gave Roy and Billy the weekend off but the rest of the crew, plus 5 other guys that have worked with us in the past, were hard at work. Tom Dale (mechanic,) Greg Hibbs (electrician,) and a helper were busy hooking up two of the gear boxes to the outboard mains and will go in the boat. The center gear box and center engine is already in the boat and will be hooked up also. Gear boxes where painted white to match the new engines.Big D and four other men completed sanding on hull, then sandblasted where necessary, cleaned bare aluminum with Alodyne and Aluma-prep and then applied two coats of Strontium. That crew did not finish until midnight. Jesus, Anthony, Cole, Eddie and Aaron spent the entire day cleaning in the engine room. First scraping and scrubbing with solvent and then cleaning with big O. The same five guys will repeat the whole procedure on Sunday so that everything will be spotless. So far, this crew in the engine room has used:15 gallons of solvent 140 pounds of rags Lots of gloves and stainless steel scrubbers. It is a nasty job. We are slightly ahead of schedule. Monday the auxiliary engines will go into the boat. For a 2008 season schedule on the Royal Polaris CLICK HERE then call 619-226-8030 for more information and to book your trip.
