This website will log our trips, fishing results, strategies, pictures, vendor recommendations, gear reviews, boating tips, and any other general information which we think folks may find interesting or useful that we come across in the day-to-day of boat ownership and recreational fishing.
In late 2014, I was fortunate enough to realize a dream that I'd had since my earliest memories and was able to purchase my first boat. My purchase was a 2004 Hydra Sports 230 WA which is a 23' walkaround with a single, platform-mounted Yamaha 225 HP outboard. As I bought the vessel unnamed, and being a life-long fan of the film Jaws, I aspired to name her in the movie's honor. Originally, she was to be called CalAmity Island; however, prior to christening, this was shortened to calAmity. The capital A is to give distinction to Amity Island, the setting of Jaws, as well as to give the appearance of a shark fin in the middle of the name.
