There was an error in our latest story about fishing aboard Bill Poole's Excel, noted by at least one sharp-eyed reader. Interestingly, Horizon and Ocean Odyssey dock near one another at H&M Landing.

"Hi Bill: Always good to see you. I read all your updates, and noted one flaw (not bad for all you write?Ķ

"You stated the Horizon was formerly the Blackjack. Not true, the Ocean Oddessy was formerly the Blackjack. I worked on her in the 80s out of Redondo. I'm not sure what the Horizon was before, but certainly not the Blackjack."
