Was out fishing all day in the rain in the Gulf Stream yesterday. There was an interclub sailfish tournament going on, in which our club was participating, so we had to go.

A nice ocean, though, about 15 knots of breeze, which is enough to raise whitecaps and 4-6 foot rolling seas in the Gulf Stream. A very pleasant and beautiful ocean.

We personally did not get a sail, but one of us caught a nice dolphin, a portion of which will get sauted for Jeanne's birthday dinner tonight.

There were a lot of flying fish in the air at one spot, Kim, several miles out from Stiltsville in about 89 - 100 feet of water. We looked over and saw, about 50 yards away, a flock of several hundred flying fish in the air, going like hell. Knew there were predators under them, swimming fast right under them, just under the surface, a thrilling sight. Anyway, we pulled a nice dolphin out of that melee.

Hmm, looking down at the desk, I think there are ghost ants living in the keyboard.

Sounds awesome Sam! After being out with MBY & family I'm hooked. Wish I coulda been there too. :-)

PLEASE tell Jeanne "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" from me and give her an extra hug! I hope she has a wonderful day. I know that you will make it so! :-)
