Without going into great detail of why I was there, with the exception
of watching my daughter play vollyball on the USA team, I probably wouldn't ahve gone, but got to see some massively huge water craft there. Outside our motell room there was the omni present scenery of an aircraft carrier and some cargo ships and tankers. What I really wanted to do was while I was there was to take a sea fishing cruise and see if I could land a sailfish or some other sal****er beast. Around where I live if you catch a 14 lb catfish it's a monster. of course the people on the 48 ft. Hatteras boats use bigger stuff than that for bait. I was even willing to pay out the $550.00 for a 4 hr fishing tour, but the timing wouldn't have permitted it. My daughters games were twice a day with 4 hr intervals, plus the games were "3 out of 5" and usually took up a couple hrs per game. I liked watching the games but concerning a good fishing schedule, it was my bad luck for the days spent there. But one of my parts suppliers is in Miami and my favorite sales guy, Chris is in the area, I had never met him but have talked with him weekly for the past 10 years. I was able to get in touch with him and meet up with he and his family, so my wife and I went out to supper with them. I got great lobster. but the cracking tool the place provided really sucked, so I believe if I ever eat lobster like that again, I'll bring my own pair of Channel-Locks. Anyhow, besides the great time with good company, I'm planning on going back there this winter, and probably to the Keys with Chis, his dad, and a couple other guys an myself and hopefully we will hit the blue water and see if we can land something big! |
