Fishing Fun

Our son, Tripp, and his girlfriend, Dana, came from La's Vegas for a visit and we took advantage of a good afternoon weather forecast and motored to a spot just off of Cumberland Island for a little fishing. The first catch of the day was a nice Whiting that was dropped when being taken off the line. From then on it was a succession of small sharks and fish stick size whiting. No worries, it was all fun anyway. This was Dana's first shark encounter and she enjoyed getting a close up view of these little guys. It was slack tide and Tripp and Dana decided to swim to the island and spend a couple of hours there and then swim back to the boat. When they returned we pulled up the anchor and started home. The port engine promptly shut down. The alternator belt had broken and Freddie replaced it while I had the helm and Tripp and Dana enjoyed the hammock. We are looking into what is causing this as this is the third time this has happened and the belt was still new. The radar also went out just as we came around the bend to the marina. add a couple more things to the "Lets get her fixed List" I hope you enjoy the pics.
