San Diego Tuna Boats

Must a thriving San Diego Fishing community Die so more Pacific Dolphin May Live? I guess we learned the answer to that question!! [email protected]

 May 1984 , Jeannine helping out 3 men adrift at sea. Put them on board for 24 hours as they headed to Guam. Lots of hot food , Showers and some Jeannine hats later they were on there way, they saw a few boats but no one stopped . Until the Jeannine showed up!

Top photo one of our loyal followers Clyde Williams In the control room of the Jeannine 1982 as the assistant heading to Samoa with full load. Love the casamar hat and cigar.
The bottom photo is also from Clyde. Taken in the mid 1970s in Puntarenas, Costa Rica. He was on the Toro Bravo in for repairs on the skiff and noticed these patrol boats. He sent this in for Greg Scafidi regarding his comments about his dad on the Trinidad in 1977 and patrol boats. You see guys this is what its all about bringing back memories some good some bad. Thanks again too Clyde your awesome . Please send in your pictures i know you have them we all do. [email protected]
