After the storm
For some reason, I feel way more excited about the deep sea fishing experience today than yesterday! Now that my ill feelings towards the rocking boat have eased, I can really reflect on the fishing trip much better! I realized I had a lot more fun than I thought I did.
I also remembered when I made my second catch of the day, the fish was still flopping around after I pulled my line out. Since my fishing pole was secured in the pole stand, I had to pull it out in order to bring the fish in. Unfortunately, in doing so, the fish fell off my hook and went right back into the water! Just when I thought all was lost, the boat's captain and deckhand Tori came to my aid. The captain went and speared the fish and brought it back into the boat for me. These hired guys on the boat are reaaally capable, and I'm really grateful. I mean come on, he brought out a spear!
My mom snagged some creepy octo-squid looking thing, and was told to throw it back, or it'd scare the fish away. XD
I had a busy day today.. I had to accompany my dad in doing some business stuff, and when I got home, we (Dad, sister, and I) went and visited Anderson Park. We've been living in Morgan Hill for about six years now, and we haven't ever visited that park all properly! When I saw the lake and people boating and fishing, I wished we could do the same sometime. You know, before I head off to college. We went and had some frozen yogurt then headed home, where I had to help my dad rotate the tires on the car.
I was quite fascinated at how careful my dad was with handling the car. He took every precaution to make sure it wouldn't tip over and hurt us. He said the car weighed like 5 tons (over exaggeration), and we could die if we were crushed by it. I didn't know that underneath the trunk of the car along with the spare tire were some tools! Good to know, in case I ever get a flat tire!
