June 1st Fishing with Smith Family

Jo and Mom met up with the Findtners and Smith family in Depot Bay for some family crabbing and fishing. Oma and Cole could not make this trip due to a baseball conflict.

The first evening we spent hanging out on the beach crabbing while cousin Sam and Jo did a little boogie boarding.

With a fire going the rest of us hung out keeping out of the wind,

and enjoyed visiting.

I have never seen crabbing done this way but it worked well, the Findtners have this skill mastered.

The following day a group of us headed out for some fishing in the ocean.  Jo and I armed our systems with some sea sick pills and were ready to catch our limit!

Jo's first cast and fish on, good start!

And then it was also THE END!

Jo and I go so sick that we could no longer fish and just tossed our stomach contents overboard and tried to lay down until the three hour trip was over. Yes, Gilligan's Island theme song went over and over in my head changing the words to match our fishing / sea sickness trip.

As soon as the boat pulled into the bay we were both fine again and sure wished we could handle the waves so we could fish.

Most of the family caught their limit and we ate fish for a couple days at home.

Thank you Family for a wonderful weekend and fish.
