One of our fun activities while on vacation was a fishing trip! This was the fishing crew that went -- Dana & Jake, Jen & Chad, Kristy & Brian. Now mind you one of the three girls is not by nature a fisherman, but I survived! My hairdresser told me she had gone deep sea fishing and the crew did everything for them, so that put my mind at ease. The day was beautiful and the scenery was fabulous!
Dana and Jake just moved to Virginia where Jake is a pastor. Dana is substitute teaching so we had much to talk about as we compared notes about teaching. What a blessing to spend time with Dana and Jake; they love the Lord so much. They also love fishing and did a great job spotting the lines that had fish that were biting.
Here is Jake with First Mate Nate (Dana stood by with the camera). Nate would bait all of the lines. Then when a line would start to bob, someone would have to reel it in. We took turns reeling in the fish. This time Jake brought one in. I even worked up enough courage to reel in two fish! As long as I didn't have to bait the hook or touch the fish it was fine.
When we weren't reeling in fish:), we were watching the scenery. I love the North Carolina shore with all of the lighthouses.
At the end of the day we were tired, but we had had a great time! Our boat was the "Jamesey Boy." The fish that we caught that we were able to eat were Silver Mackerel. Jake grilled them that evening for our dinner and everyone got to sample our catch of the day. All week we had good food and good times!
