I was just surfing on Hell's Bay Web site and I hit the jackpot. The site has many "lost" episodes of Walkers Cay so be sure to check them out. The link is HERE.
I've been a fan of Hells Bay for a long time and have followed the company for some time. The company was started by Flip and Hal Chittum and was noted as a boat for captains and anglers very serious about shallow water fishing. A few years back the company fell into bankruptcy and has emerged bigger and better than ever. Not really sure what happened, but the company went under and lots of people lost out on boats that had been ordered.
Not good.
Fast forward a few years and Captain Chris Peterson bought the company and has turned it around. The boats are better than ever with Peterson having brought back Tom Gordon, a master boat builder, to the company. Gordon was one of the original builders but left during the turmoil years and founded his own company, Gordon Boatworks.
Some day I WILL have a Hells Bay Marquesa. In the meantime, I'll keep wearing my Hells Bay shirt and dreaming.
