06/30/2005 | KA1SVW Brad KA1SVW and Steve KA1RCI operated 2-Charlie for a second year from the 45 cutter-rigged ketch Bellerophon on anchor in Potter Cove off Prudence Island at approximately 41 38.12 N by 071 19.7 W.

Their adventures operating field day last year aboard the 29 costal cruiser Foolish Pleasure were featured in the June 2005 issue of QST. This year we operated for 13 hours, worked 30 states, we beat our score from last year and took first place in our class at the national level.

Several visitors raft up with us while we were bobbing around just off-shore of Prudence Island, Barry N1TOQ rafted up in his boat for a few hours, Ernie N1SW and friends also rafted up in their dinghies (thanks for the great photos Ernie), and Rick KD1WE paddled out to our field day site in his sea Kayak.

We also had a visit from the Harbor Patrol that earned us an extra 100 bonus points! (Thank you Brad) -- KA1RCI
