February already and another beautiful morning. Now you may be thinking that I have it really easy just being a beach bum but I assure you there are chores that have to be done. Today was wash day.
Today is the first day that I am going to use my new fishing rod and catch supper for everyone in the RV park!!!
So I packed up and headed down the beach maybe a mile to the rocks where I hoped to land the big one!
I did have local competition..
Now I must be honest and tell you my first cast was quite disastrous as my line came back minus weight and hook. After fixing that problem my next cast got caught in the rocks, so I jumped in and retrieved my hook. Wasn’t having any luck but I was enjoying myself and decided it was time for lunch.
Then back to the rock and the cast was perfect and right away I knew I had caught the BIG ONE!!! My very first fish!!
His name is Fred and he was immediately photographed and thrown gently back into the ocean. I am not going to brag and tell you he was over two feet in length and weighed 30 pounds……BUT he was my first fish and I felt very proud. In actual fact he was a very pretty fish about 6 inches long!!!
I spent four hours out there fishing, swimming and sunbathing and had a great afternoon.
Barb and Frank are so kind to me and again cooked supper, this time great burgers.
Then my neighbours invited me to watch the second half of the Super Bowl on their satellite TV. It was an exciting last quarter, sorry Mary Kay your team did not win!!!
So ends another great day, blessings from the beach Bum…
