If you haven't heard from me by Tuesday, call the Coast Guard!

I'm getting an opportunity to complete a bucket list item - 4 days and 3 nights deep sea fishing off the coast of Mexico. Apparently, they are catching 80 pound fish off the boat right now! I hope there is no weather issues as Irma moves West...
 
Looking forward to some down-time and a "clarity break". Hoping to come back energized to dig into a new song. :)
 
Ahoy!

    I loved this comment!
     
    I wonder if their knees get rubbed raw from their granite balls swishing back and forth or do they develop calluses.
     
    :)
     
    Now THAT would be terrifying! I did a 1.5 day trip on a 60 footer once. This is a much bigger boat - 90ft long with a 24ft beam. There's also only 19 fisher-people on board so it should be a fantastic trip...
     
    Here's the boat:

    That looks like the kind of boat on which a man could get some thinkin' done....
     
    I personally am terrified of the ocean (a near death experience in Greece when I was 12). It also instilled in me a kind of obsessive fascination with rough seas. I can watch videos of boats in ferocious storms for hours, I love those ones of 100ft waves hitting tankers and the like. There is something absolutely horrifying about the ocean when it gets like that, but totally compelling as well, like something out of a dream. Gives you infinite respect for the vikings who used to traverse seas like that in wooden boats. Unthinkable terror. However, I like to think that underneath all of that churning foam, if you keep going down and down and further down until you get to the very bottom....well.....
     

     
    My latest obsession is watching footage of lighthouses being slammed with apocalyptic waves.

    Call them anything you want except late for BECAN.
     
    On second thought maybe you want to call them late for that.

    Hope he's okay.

    I can see that if I was on a desert island this group isn't coming looking for me! lol
     
    I'm exhausted but I'm back! What a great trip - everyone caught at least one Blue Fin Tuna. I caught one at 40lb and one at 36lb. I've never had a fish fight like that!

    I hope you sashimi'd at least some of that poundage.
     
    ...
     
    aaaand now I'm drooling.
     
    ugh... I miss sashimi
     
    I'm guessing if I ordered it in this town I'd end up with a plate of fish still shaped like the can it came in
