Took a break from all the many preparations to depart and spent the day fishing with my Dad. After a VERY slow morning, we had much better luck in the afternoon on an outgoing tide. As soon as the tide shifted, we started pulling in fish. We reached our limit on Redfish pretty quickly, with me landing 2 of the 3. That night we had blackened Redfish cooked on the grill... DELICIOUS!! Pretty sure I ate about 2 lbs myself - I'm trying to fatten up a little before I have to survive on rice alone for 2 years. I still haven't quite gotten used to the heat down here in Florida, but I suppose it's a good warm-up for what's to come. On a fun note, I wrote my Will and Living Will yesterday....THAT was a little strange. And I still haven't found quality information on what to pack, so I'm going to go with my gut and bring a week's worth of loincloths, that should at least get me to Banjul.
P.S. - For all you east-coasters, I'll be in the Wilmington-DC-Philly area Sept 21st - 27th. Give me a shout if you want to meet up.

hey indiana jones, you should probably stop messing around on that fishing boat and start working on your spear fishing... never know when that could come in handy
