"OH DEAR...OH DEAR", I said!

It's Sunday at Marsh Harbour...the wind was predicted to be 10-15 knots toady with "only" 5 - 7 foot seas so we decided to go fishing this morning. O.K....I was going to be a good sport so I said, "let's go" even though 5 - 7 foot seas didn't sound too appealing! We left out at 7:30 this morning but had to run by another marina for ice because our marina didn't open until 11:00 (Jabet...what do you think about that...11:00 on Sunday????). We were out in the Atlantic Ocean by 8:30. "OH DEAR...OH DEAR...OH DEAR", I shouted several times! Well, since my kids are reading this and also not to risk getting thrown off of blogspot.com I won't tell you the REAL words I was shouting! There were 7 - 11 foot swells EASY! Sitting in the back of the boat I would just watch the swells coming toward us and was thinking, "Perfect Storm...Perfect Storm"! Now...it was a brilliant sunny day but the wind has been blowing hard for 3 or 4 days so the seas were VERY rough. Now for the really GOOD part....we caught 2 nice mahi mahi, dorado, or dolphin...take your pick of names. After 2 fish I suggested to ACTM, "How many do we really need?" So we headed back in and were back at the marina by 1:00. We just finished frying up more than we could eat in a week but when it's fresh you just have to do it! It is Five O'Clock Somewhere in Marsh Harbor but after "frogging our sides" and showers we will probably go to bed and watch a movie. John & Lori moved over to Hope Town today and we will move there tomorrow. Winds are to be 15 - 20 knots but it is only about 5 miles through the Sea of Abaco so don't anticipate any problem. Will catch you on the flip flop when we get to Hope Town!
