Damage report from this trip: One push pole for the flats skiff. One camera (as I got low in the water in pursuit of a big bone: too low). Both were killers. The push pole loss really changed the way we fished. Instead of getting up wind with sun the our backs and drifting a flat until we found fish, we wound up walking or using kayaks. Both are noisy and these fish are spooky. Neither worked well and this costs us fish big time.

And the camera: well few or no pics. Had that camera for a long time. Digital Canon: but had an optical viewfinder. With digital viewfinding the screen isn't bright enough to see on a coral sand flat with any sun. And haven't seen a point and shoot digital with an optical viewfinder in a few years. Don't make them any more as far I can tell. Maybe ebay for this camera. She will be missed. Took alot of pics with that baby.
