We were up when it was still dark and headed out deep sea fishing. We were told this was the marlin mecca of the world. Not much was biting, but we did see a whale in the distance, a shark briefly, and then the one marlin we ended up catching. We were glad we drugged ourselves before we left because it was SO rough and constant. Because we only had one real chance at a fish, only one of us in our group of 6 was able to reel anything in. The rest of the day we spent relaxing until the Breg Awards Ceremony. It was a little awkward being inducted into the President's Club when I really don't do anything with Breg, but the jacket is nice. -T

| The start of the sunrise |
 |
| Getting on our boat |
 |
| Let's get it on! |
 |
| Rough rough ride |
 |
| The Dramamine is doing it's job so far |
 |
| Who knew Smalls was on our boat |
 |
| I think we got something...atta way Smalls! |
 |
| That would be a marlin |
 |
| To our surprise they just started beating it over his head...rough |
 |
| Just about got him |
 |
| He was about 6-7 feet long |
 |
| So what now? |
 |
| Picture time! |
 |
| Lindsey wanted no part of a picture |
 |
| Sucker's nose was sharp |
 |
| She's still happy...but keeping her distance |
 |
| They told us beforehand that they would throw back any marlins caught |
 |
| They lied |
 |
| Well I guess they did throw his head and shell of a body back |
 |
| Then at the end...we were attacked by sea lions! Actually, just one sea lion, and we weren't attacked, he just wanted a handout |
 |
| Another REALLY good lunch at the Peninsula |
 |
| Best burrito we've ever had |
 |
| Awards Night |
 |
| Part of the golf course we didn't play |
 |
| We just love social hour |
 |
| Us |
 |
| Us and everyone else |
 |
| Dinner |
 |
| The wives were given a gift |
 |
| Not a bad deal |
 |
| Happy to be there |
 |
| No pictures were taken of my "induction,' so here's me sportin' my President's Club jacket later on...weird |
 |
| On our first evening earlier in the week, a guy on the street tried to get Lindsey to buy a rose made out of a palm leaf. She assured him over and over again that she didn't have any money(that was true, we were not carrying any), but she was so sweet about it and said how much he loved it that he ended up giving it to her anyway. Maybe Lindsey should be a salesman. |
