Zen and the art of offshore blues fishing...and "Boat"

Went deep sea fishing last night with my friend John - last minute kinda deal, decided to go on a night excursion for Blues... Not too bad, had a lot of fun - especially watching some kid hurl his guts up after being on the fucking boat 30 min... Guess he'll never be caught dead on a boat again!

What made it worse (and gross) was that he thought it was a good idea to throw up over the side nearer to the front of the boat - while it was travelling at 25 knots. This made for a real awful display of vomit being blown back onto the deck and narrowly missing my feet and cooler...YUCK!!!

Aside from that, and the fact that together John and I managed to catch only 1 FUCKING FISH, it was a good time... A KILLER night to be out fishing...beautiful weather, not cold at all... And we had a 12 pack of Molson XXX to help things. Plus, I still had 2 of my new favorite beer: Dogfish head 90 minute IPA . I think maybe I drank a little too much, but what the hell, last weekend of fun for me for a while...

Gotta give props to The Capt and Crew of the Super Speedy Express II for being so cool and helping us have fun - even if we only caught ONE FUCKING FISH!!! Did I make my point that annoyed me?

Before we went, though, John and I went boat 'shopping', for lack of a better term... Went to go check out some boat we saw on craigslist - was no good, no good... But the harbor master had a boat in the yard that someone was selling... Really nice boat - 22.5', walkaround cabin, shower, head, 2 burner stove, aft cabin, sleeps 4, good engine, new prop, fresh paint, all for $4000.

heres a couple of pics...

I thought the best name for it is simply... "BOAT"...John likes "DA BOAT" - I'll run with that, but I still prefer "BOAT". That would be a good name...

Anyway, I gotta go for now cause I am supposed to play cards tonite...

Hope you like the boat we arent gonna buy yet!

Til the next time...
