Why you should leave your wife home when going fishing
or
Why women really do rule the world.
A husband who took his wife out on a little lake to teach her how to fish.
When they finished and got back home, the neighbor asked her how she did.
The wife replied, “Well, I am not sure. According to my husband, I did everything
wrong. First, he said I was moving around too much in the boat. Then he
said I was talking too much and chased the fish away. Next, he made fun
of the way I baited the hook. Lastly, he said ugly words to me because I
didn’t wait long enough before reeling in my line. I guess I am not a fisherman,
but I did catch more fish than he did.”

The boss asks why and the guy says "it's my eyes."
"What's wrong with your eyes?" asks the boss.
"I just can't see myself coming to work, so I'm going Deep Sea fishing
instead..."
A brief History of the Pastime
Pastime
The Pastime Princess was built in 1972
to be a support vessel for the oil rigs' in the gulf
of Mexico. It was purchased some time in the early 80's
and converted into a live aboard boat. To the best of
our knowledge it changed hands one more time before
becoming a fishing boat sailing out of NJ. We purchased
the Pastime in the early 90's. We had the deck widened,
the overhead cap cut back and the cabin redesigned. We plan in near future to widen the bathrooms and redo all the seating.
Some fun facts about
the Pastime Princess
We have sonar and radar and the latest in GPS satellite navigation to get us through the most difficult weather
The original purpose of the vessel was to service oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico therefore it was built to withstand a category 5 hurricane

The Princess is almost 100 feet long from bow to stern and weighs 98 gross tons
Three 12 cylinder Detroit 1271 diesels with a combined horsepower of 2100
Two 30,000 watt electrical generators run by 2, 371 Detroit diesel engines
One thousand six hundred gallons of fuel capacity
The boat is scrubbed from bow to stern, inside and out every day
At cruising speed we use 50 gallons of fuel per hour
2 Carrier 5 ton air conditioners to keep us cool in the summer
