The Captain's First Fish...


The first time John and Dave went out fishing they took the dinghy out to the mangroves. They caught nothing.

The second time the guys went fishing they chose to fish off the back end of the boat while it sat on its mooring. John caught a small moray eel which was, of course, thrown back.

The third time, however, the guys pulled out the big guns and we took Tropical Breeze out towards one of the reefs for a day of fishing. Well the team proved that the third time is a charm with a catch of 12 fish in all. Mary started the catching bonanza with the first catch. The boys then followed. By the time the day was done the captain had caught 5 – all grunts – which are small but should be very tasty.

To say the Captain now has the fishing bug would be a bit of an understatement. I anticipate we are headed out for more fishing tomorrow. I’m just wondering what we will do if we do get a big one – I suppose we can always have our neighbors over for a party.

More fun to come.
