Florida Fishing Trip



Wednesday afternoon while everyone was eating at a sandwich restaurant, Alair decided to try on hats.



With the arrival of Marc's family, we had a whole new group to try out the pool.


On Thursday morning, Andrew took a group of men on a fishing trip. He chartered this particular boat but it is also possible to just show up at the dock at 6 am and get in on a larger group boat.



Marc got right into the action and caught a large Spanish Mackerel.


Andrew caught this little shark. It has a sucker on its head to attach to other fish and hitch a ride. Erik is demonstrating how this works.



Andrew's father-in-law Ken got in quite a battle with his mackerel.


I got into my own fight as well.


Andrew caught a red snapper. Too bad it is out of season (he released it again).


Marc caught a nice one too.


Here is our catch of the day. It was enough to feed 20 people at least two big meals.


We went to Pat O'Brian's to watch the sunset.

Kendra with her father, Ken, and his wife Brenda.


This boat passed by while we were partying. On a close study of the sail, I found the letters ATS!

On our way over to the Boathouse restaurant, Erik found his own little delicacy.


The Boathouse is decorated in scow chic with a bit of money on the walls for ornamentation.

There was live music and Gratia and Alair hit the floor.


Andrew and Grandma Rose cut a rug as well.
