kid's albacore trip - 8/24/12

i overslept. i've never overslept before but i overslept this time. it was 7:30 before we splashed the boat at monterey.



we were supposed to have 2 knots of wind and virtually no swell all morning, but that was not the case.



this will be yumiko's first fishing trip ever. boy, what a way to start! allison and my brother rounded out the crew.





we were headed out to marv's numbers from yesterday, 30/30, and dropped them in 2 miles short when the water temps took a big jump. 5 minutes later we were rewarded with a double. we stayed in the general area all day and ended up with 6 fish.





poor yumiko got pretty seasick, but hung in there. it was definitely alot rougher than i would have anticipated.





we had the neighbors over for dinner after we got all cleaned up.



it was a rough trip for allison and yumiko, but dinner seem to make it all worthwhile!

Very tasty Allan.... That is a very nice boat there too.

thanks! you know, my vacation to australia last month was quite a shock. you can buy a boat like this in the US for $100 thousand, have it rigged with full electronics for $30 thousand, and apparently ship it to australia for $25 thousand and then sell it for $200 thousand or more. that is scary.
