Update on the fishing business

This going to be a short entry because I've still got to write the improv ideas film for Maddrim.

Multi tasking just now, blogging and watching Back to the Future. Fuck it's awesome. The set up for the rest of the film in the car park when Doc explains time travel is so well done. Sorry, getting distracted, I'll mute it, no wait, the main theme is about to kick in when he's about to reach 88mph... I'll just turn the volume down, a bit.

So to the main reason for the blog: fishing.

I never should have written that last blog with the section 'how to fish for your ipod' as I didn't catch it that time and I sure as hell didn't this time. Guess Poseidon's enjoying my full discography of the Dixie Chicks just too much to give it back.

(Ad break - now I'm watching Groundhog Day. Ghad I love a bit of Murray.)

 

 So yes, my first attempt I went out in my boat with a net, this time I donned my wetsuit, goggles and snorkle, and took the net too just for some banter.

Here I am to your right, looking optimistic. Fool.

It's hard to see in this photo, but it was pretty windy, it was gusting up to f7 and it was cold. The water was murky, the sea floor muddy and I was just making it alot worse by splashing around in the cold.

There, down below, that's me splashing around in the cold.




But to cut this short, because it's too painful to write, and Back To The Future finished long, long ago, I caught nothing, apart from perhaps a cold. We'll see!

But this is not the end. There is going to be a third attempt; my neighbour Theo, is going to help me with his underwater torch... Again, damn the black leather case.

I will fish it out eventually, I will.




Big thank you to Karen Raford who drove me to the pier and photographer my efforts. I couldn't have failed a second time without her. We also had other fun adventures this past weekend that I will blog about soon.


I should also like to say RIP to Steve Jobs. This adventure would have never begun without him. If I do catch it eventually it will be the voyage dedicated to him.
