A Little Fishing Under the Rainbow

Saturday · Popularity: 65% · Fishing 

We have not had much time to spend at the boat since we moved it, but the time we do get to come down is enjoyable to say the least. The weather was not cooperating with us today but it turned out to reveal the most beautiful rainbow while Scott was fishing on the dock just off our bow.

The storms lasted most of the afternoon and then cleared up just as the sun was setting. The wind was blowing in gusts around 35-45 knots with frequent lightening. We met another boat that comes in the next day from Mobile bay that had been struck by lightening several times blowing a good bit of their electronics and their batteries.

You can see Scott is still in his rain gear (and hat) but was ready to catch some fish. The not so little guy below stuck very close to Scott’s side waiting to see if Scott was actually going to catch him some dinner. It was not to be, but he did smile for the camera.

Today Laughalot Had Visitors

You would have to know us personally to know how big of a deal this really is, as we rarely “get together” with anyone, but it happened to be that on this weekend Scott’s parents were vacationing down on Alabama’s Gulf Coast and came over for a visit. They had never seen the boat before and we enjoyed a quick visit with them before we all went out to dinner.

Here is DK watching to see if my dad is actually going to make it on the boat with me or step right into the drink. Looks like he made it. We were very impressed that Scott’s mom decided to come on board. She is not comfortable on boats of any size and we really appreciated her effort.
