Paul's Big Fish

 For Father's Day this year Paul requested a "Man weekend".  So the kids bought him and a couple friends a charter fishing trip.  They went up the night before and stayed at a some-what questionable, but cheap, hotel room.  Apparently they found a really great Mexican restaurant in Mt. Vernon if anyone is interested.  The guys then retired to the hotel to watch Star Wars (Empire Strikes Back) and stayed up way too late.

They had to be on the boat at 5:25 am.  Here are some pictures from the trip:

The water was calm all day.

Kurt had the most action all day.

All he caught was dog fish. The small, ugly Puget Sound sharks.
The weather was perfect all day.
The ride back to Anacortes.

Here is a picture of Paul with his King Salmon. He caught it 45 minutes in and it was the only salmon that  they reeled in all day.

Man Weekend Complete - for another year :)  Thanks for being such a great Father for our children!!!
