Fishing

I just hung out on the aft deck with some of the guys and watched them attempt to catch tomorrow's lunch. Made (pronounced Mad-dee) is one of the chef's and he is good at casting and is a real fisherman. Alex and Dan, I'm not so sure about. The first thing that tipped me off to Alex's shortcomings was when he was tying on the lure and he suddenly had a huge mess of a knot in the line. I'm not saying I could do any better, but I didn't have a rod in my hand.

I happened to walk over to the port railing and noticed the water moving and birds starting to swoop in so I called them over just as the captain came over the radio to tell them that there was something in the water off the port bow. It was too far away to cast so they jumped in the tender and motored over. Alex came over the radio and said, "Operation Steve's lunch is under way." Steve is the captain and he had earlier mentioned that he would like fish for lunch tomorrow.

Unfortunately, they didn't catch anything but it was entertaining to watch. Plus I had a reason to go outside and enjoy twilight on a nice evening. It looks as though we may be in for some bad weather in the next few days. The clouds are building and the forecast calls for rain on Wednesday.

On another note, the company that shipped the frozen food did some research on their side (finally) and they discovered that they had addressed the delivery to our finance office and NOT the port agent that was supposed to deliver it to us. Not my fault! So they are shipping it to the correct address first thing tomorrow. I hope.
