My son, Sean sent me an email last night asking how the trip was going. Here’s, in part how I responded:
“Trip couldn’t be better.
Boat’s running great.
Crew is awesome.
Weather is decent.
Don’t know how the trip could be better…
Fish. We need fish!”
We got semi-serious yesterday about catching dinner, but lost focus (naps, lunch,etc) and missed several good strikes and we lost one of my favorite lures when a nice (apparently) fish took the bait and spooled the reel because no one was there to reel him in! Today is a new day. Captain has decreed we will ONLY have dinner if there is fish to cook!! (Or in pirate, “the beatings will continue until morale improves).
I guess the pounding headseas have stopped. That’s good you can focus on crew morale.
My all-time favorite pirate quote.?☠️ Stay safe and have fun.
