today was sunday april 27th, 2014....
I had a long night last night....drink rum way past my limit, had 2 brownies, and after seastar, we went to bourbon beach for a little while...somewhere in that mix, I committed to GerryG123 that I would be ready at 530am for a try at spear fishing....OMG, I dont drink that much, and it is telling me to roll over and sleep...but I am a trooper and get up....Flip has ordered my wife to do something, and she reluctantly gets up and follows me to the lobby to wait...right on cue, GerryG pulls up....as I get situated, he exclaims..wtf, are u eating subs already? its 530...yeah, but its 420 somewhere...lol...if u only knew how bad i felt and how close to not having a passenger you were....lol...anyway...
this is the picture in my whole roll that Flip likes best...
and we are off!!!!
Gerry meets Famous Vincent at Palms..it is a closer boat ride to the fish....we have about 20 minutes to kill while we wait for the boat...GerryG has a float stashed and hits the pool...this was my home for a week, so I walk around the grounds, trying to shake the funk....
first, I am not a very good snorkler....great swimmer, but i cant get the breathing thing right...and then i panic and snatch the mask off..plus, i always leak water and swallow half the sea....
so we get to the spot and we get in...I decide from the start that i was too uncoordinated to shoot, load, retrieve and repeat while trying breathe at the same time...so i jsut followed Gerry around...he is pretty good at this...I shot a few times, he reloaded for me and I shot again..i finally hit one, a glancing blow...decide this was too much for me and i just floated away for a minute..next time i look up, there is a lot of distance between me and gerry....i am not too far from the boat, so i head over...as i sit in the boat, the slight rocking gets me...should ahve stayed in the water, i guess...sanyway...gerry says he had a great day..we have about 10 fish....
GerryG123 was the perfect host..always asking if i was ok, was i having fun, did i need anything, etc...then when he saw i was feeling bad, he was extra concerned...love this guy....
anyway he dropped me off at travellers at about 9am...
