Fish are still biting :wink: I'm free this week. I mean I have lots of chores but can take a day off if you wanna head out let me know:leaf:
I was watching the trip on the pacific queen out of fishermans leaving Thursday night. I looked at the offshore report and it was kinda breezy with 11 ft seas but still gonna watch it. Life is about to get a whole lot better and I will have more free time on my hands but need to stay on top of the game . stand by. lol

During my Navy tour I always hurled day 1 at sea, then was fine after that. It's something you never get used to whether you are straight out of bootcamp or a 30 year old salt. Going out for one day then coming in would be a bad deal lol. I was the kid who watched while others rode carnival rides, cause I would spray spectators and fellow riders with my lunch if I got on. My 4 years in the Navy were rough. Funny thing is I've never tried meds for the symptoms.

lol. I fished for many years. got sicker than shit when I was a kid and got on the boats . during my fishing career never had a problem. once I stayed off them for 10 or so years I was right back to heave ho , then it went away again. They have good stuff for it now a days.

I had to strap myself to my rack with military style web belts during a cruise around the edges of Hurricane Gilbert in 1988. Guys were literally being tossed from the bunks onto the deck and that third bunk high, mine, was a long fuckin way to the bottom.

Edit: I took a peek out onto the weather decks and one second you couldn't see the sea, then the next second you were looking up a 50 footer. Fuck that shit on a tin can frigate.

Rode some lower category hurricanes out on a drillship which was built in the 70's. Fkn thing would roll all the way over on its side nearly. Everything in the galley strapped down. Fun times
