A Day of Fishing

On Wednesday Eric and I went on a fishing trip. We were volunteer fishers...helping with a research study. So we set sail at 6am and started off to the fishing location (it took 3 hours to get there). The sea was angry that morning...there was a small craft advisory. I think that Eric could have made it if it wasn't for the 3 hours of ruff waters. At about 8:45 Eric lost his breakfast. You know how when you look sick someone will say that you look green...well Eric actually did look green. Eric didn't do much fishing after that. He lost it again at about 11:30. I was feeling pretty sick at about 10 but I kept chanting in my head, "I will not throw up...I will not throw up!". My line got stuck on the ocean floor and the captain came over to help me...I think he had something nasty on his hand because when I got my reel back it smelled super bad and I lost it! So much for the chanting. I wish we would have taken something before the trip because we were really looking forward to this fishing trip. I had a good time...I caught lots of fish (it was a catch, tag and release study) so none of them made it home with me. So if anyone would like to come out and visit we know a really great fishing spot...and next time we will take something for the waves!
