My kid and the boat he was on had to cut short their trip, too.

We did not cut short our time on the Lake. We left the house at 10:20 and
were at our swimming spot by 11:45. We took off at 4 pm (when we would
have left anyway) when I saw the storm clouds forming.


Building waves and increasing winds..... I don't think anybody cared,
though, since the 17 paying passengers were worn down by 18 hours of
fishing, 23 hours on the ocean, and the exertion of reeling in over
700 lbs. of keeper fish for the freezer!

Sounds like some nice fish fries this summer!

18 hours of fishing..............a very dedicated group!
