April 25-27
Okay ...my bad...no blog for 3 days...but what a three days!
I have no idea what we did on Monday! I'll have to go back and think about
that.
Tuesday Ross [Nauticuss] came by and yelled, "Who wants
to go fishing?" Quentin was up and
ready to go before Ross got stopped, so he went by himself with Nauticuss and
the crew from Amazing Grace. I had to
finish a sign and Rick didn't want to go fishing.
Four hours later they were back. Quentin had a 5.5 lb
mahi-mahi and Jim caught one too. Ross lost his, but those two mahi-mahi fed 11
people last night!!
The best part was that Ross made Quentin fillet the fish as
well. Ross showed him how to clean it without having to gut it first, and he
made Quentin do both of the fish!
Quentin's rod fell apart [sorry, Jack, it just couldn't
handle the fight] so Ross gave him a new fishing rod that he can use while we
travel home. So Quentin can keep us in fish while we sail.
This morning, Quentin went over to the town side so he could
try to get into one of the sailing dinghies, but ended up on the crash boat. The
local sailing club didn't have room for him on the Class B boat, but they gave
him at-shirt anyway, and told him to find another boat to crew on. He went looking
for another boat, and ended up on "Lady Natalie", a boat from the
Acklins Islands.
AND THEY TOOK 3RD PLACE IN THE GOVERNOR GENERAL'S CUP!!!
So
he will actually get a trophy or something for being on that boat!!! They told
him to show up again tomorrow and he can race with them again!!
He's pretty happy about that. So, Granddad if you are
looking for racing crew this summer...
