Joe, Stephanie and I went to Wahoo's for happy hour and had burger to celebrate Joe's arrival. (thanks Joe) Joe is saving the seat to his left for Julia. She is still up in NY and won't be down for a couple more weeks. (can't wait to see you Julia!) It was great fun talking about all the places we are going to including the Exumas while buddy boating with Joe, Salty, and part time Julia for the next few months.

Joe's dog Salty. I think someone needs to check this guys ID

Lunch furnished by Steve and Di. This was suppose to be a lunch while out fishing, but because of 6 ft. + seas we came in early. The ride to the inlet was fine, but when we got out past the inlet there were what we call elephants. We put the lines in and after about 20 minutes I had one on, but it got off. At that point the seas we still building so we turned the pointy end to shore, then it really got rough. Got rolled a couple of times and rearranged the furniture in the salon, but all is well except no fish. We will give it another try when the seas calm in a few days. (sorry crew for the rough ride) Because we didn't catch any fish for dinner we all decided to go out for Joe's birthday for "SUSHI!" Steve, Di, Chuck, Pat, Stephanie, me and the birthday boy, Joe, (we ate the ones that didn't get away) pigged out at our favorite sushi bar. The only ones missing were Salty (he had a hangover from the night before) and Julia. Happy birthday Joe!
