We are the only boat in Rock Sound Harbor
04 January 2013
So I guess we can't offend anyone with our Clampett ways - laundry everywhere and Billy detritus all over the deck.
On another note, this year we seem to have trouble holding on to things. First, on the run from Morgan's Bluff, we lost the laundry dealie and a support for the davits. Next went one of our spears at Highbourne - the one we liked better, of course.
And then there was the fish.
Yes, THE fish.
It is not an exaggeration to say that we caught a mahi as big as Bessie. After fighting him for 20 or so minutes, Billy was able to land him on the foredeck.
Oh, the excitement - fish flopping, pups howling and 2 adults with no flippin clue that they needed to do something immediately otherwise the fish would just flop right off the boat. Which he promptly did.
Yup, a whole winter's worth of mahi, gone in a flash. Didn't even get a pic. And the damn thing took the lure with him.
Don't even ask Billy about it. He can't talk about THE fish.
