Gone fishing ~ ~ ~

While the rest of us are just waking up at 9am (Lovin the black-out curtains at Mum & Dads) J and his Pa have already been out fishing for hours!! They love it.
 
 
When we're on the boat Pa is the Captain:
 
 
& J the 'First Mate'
 
 
He has caught lots of Snapper, but set off today really hoping to reel in a John Dory...and we just received word he did. Go J!
 
 
This was the day we waved Pa and the 3 boys off for night at sea. They had such a great time fishing, swimming, rowing the dingy, cooking dinner on the boat and rocking off to sleep in a bay.
 
 
The next night was mine and Miss E's turn. Ha now I'm renowned for being not much of a fisher-girl....goes back to my childhood days in the tin dingy and wanting to go back in after half an hour. This was fun though...
 
 
But eww is that poo or guts coming out of that fish?!
 
 
Not to worry, he was dinner not long after...oh so g o o d ! In fact Dad, me and Miss E ate a whole fish each :) Caught, cooked and eaten on the boat
!
And this sunset... Spectacular!!! Wow I couldn't help think this beats sitting in the 4 walls of a house watching TV
 
 
We then pulled the cover over for the night, Miss E and I sleeping up the front of the boat, and Pa in the main bit. It was like we were in a cradle as the ocean gently rocked us off to sleep with plip, plopping sounds underneath.
 
What a great experience, thanks so much Pa for sharing it with us x
