Off for the maiden voyage for the new motor Sun. morning. Heading to the bait shop south on Rt. 2S around the E.G./N.K line just before dawn. I always consentrate more on the right side where creatures pop out of the small wooded areas. This skipper comes across 3 lanes at full bore right in front of me. He got launched about 10 feet in the air, over the guard rail and into a ditch. Second time for me on that stretch of road. About $1000 damage (if I'm lucky) More road kill deer in North Kingstown than any other town in RI. MoraL: Keep your head in the game, especially at dawn & dusk in that area and in fact all the way down to the shore, they're everywhere!
