Now back to my regularly scheduled post!
********************************************************************************
We last left our monsters at the dock, running towards a waiting boat and Grandpa.
The fog drifting slowly through the harbor, sailboats anchored in the background.
Life jackets were donned and off we went into the FOG…
The tall ship Manitou at dock.
Usually I’m on the shore and she’s in the Bay.
We crept slowly out of the harbor.
Then away we went!
When we got out aways Pop said “Here Ang, steer towards the buoy.”
To which my response was “WHAT buoy?”
I’m not good at steering normally, I need a land mark to steer towards.
SO in the fog I was worse, much worse.
See the pink lines… all of the straight ones are when Pop was driving, all of the crazy circles…
Yup, that was me.
My Pop the Captain.
He is taken ladies, hands off!
He and my Mamala have been married for 38 years…
No wonder he fishes…
Just kidding MOM!
The rods were in and we were trolling. Four poles in the water.
Pop played pick a number between one and five…
To see who got to real in the first fish, just in case…
Major childhood flashback since that is how my Pop used to settle anything between D and I.
Finally the Buoy!
No bites here.
We went to a different spot.
Remember this picture?
Well this is from the other side.
No matter how nicely we talked to them, the fishies weren’t bitting.
So we headed back to the harbor.
Me driving the boat while Pop reeled in.
I can hear him in my head saying
“No wonder she couldn’t drive straight… She was taking pictures! ”
I wasn’t!
Only like two… maybe three…
Back in the harbor the kids read the boat names…
We were only out a couple of hours.
No bites at all, we had a great time though.
We entertained ourselves by making faces at the camera
(I’ll save those for another day.)
and just enjoying being together.
We all LOVE fishing with Pop.
Can’t wait until next time.
Ang
