This last weekend we went to Salinas for the 3 day weekend and some Marlin fishing. We rented a house on a private beach and had a great time celebrating with friends. As for the fishing, well, we had a great boat ride. After 9 hours of fishing, our only excitement came when a Marlin lunged at the bait with such force it snaped the 50 weight fishing line. "The one that got away" was the key to having a successful trip. Had the line not snapped, I would have a much bigger fish tale for you. Now, the Marlin is the one with the great story about how he got his sweet nose ring.
Do you think this boat had anything to do with us not catching anything?
Fortunately this was the 1st boat on the way to the 2nd boat......the Mac Arther.
This was our only fish we had on board......the bait fish!
Maybe one of us would have made better bait.
Last Thursday we went to a professional baseball game. Yes, I'm as surprised as you to hear there is baseball in Ecuador. There are a total of 3 teams who play a full season against each other before the 2 best teams play a championship game. There are more players on the field then fans in the seats. Hot dogs and bevy's sell for a $1 each and if you catch a foul ball, throw it back. It's the only game ball. Amazingly, in their baseball history, they have had 1 player who went on to play in the Major Leauges for the Seattle Mariners.
