Perry heads off to parts unknown in search of ancient bears, or
something.. |
This is how far Perry and Maria are without the
aid of a 600mm lens. The reason they look so small is that they are very
far away. |
Capt. Kent had a great caption for this shot of
a fly on Maria's butt. I forgot what it was. I almost used my caption
which was unprintable.
Make up your own.

The Shrimp Hunters bringing in the catch. Capt,
Kent mans the winch which pulls the rope up from the bottom. Nowell coils
the rope in the bucket. That's all he's good for.
(Wait a second, why is he referring to himself in the
third person?)

The count was 305. For those of you who didn't
win the pool, please send your $5 to:

Perry gets his kicks tickling a shrimps
fancy.
Actually, he is demonstrating something important about
a shrimp, but I forget what it was. I don't really care... I just want to
eat the lil' sucker.
|
Diana with her shrimp. She doesn't need to wear
them like Maria does.
That's because I buy her jewelry.
Besides, she doesn't look good in shrimp, either.
|
Perry has vaulted to the forefront of daring men
in my life. Not only can he touch a shrimp with his bare hands but he
will. He is up there with Capt. Kent, doing things that I would never even
dream about.
I'll take my shrimp in a restaurant, thank you very
much.
|
I'm doing the only thing I'm qualified for on
this boat. At this stage of the trip, my IQ is just about the same as the
rope I'm coiling.

Every time we bring something on board, we haul
in some weird creature. This time it's a crab. |
Perry demonstrates the value of back lighting an
iridescent shrimp. |
Rachel throws a shrimp on the barbie.
Rachel doesn't have a clue how to cook shrimp. Hers come out tender and
moist. Everyone who eats shrimp in San Diego knows they should be dry as a
bone and tough.
Heck... with her shrimp you don't even need cocktail sauce. |
Perry wanted this shot. I don't know why. Ask
him. |
He sure looks serious, doesn't he? Of course, if
I were ripping the heads off a sea creature who had a razor sharp spike in
its head, I'd concentrate, too. |
DJ reeled this one in. We're bringing it home.
She is putting it in her luggage in a big ziplock bag.
I bet you'll know her when she gets off the plane. |
Believe it or not, Maria is fishing. Yep, this
is how she fishes. She catches, too. I think I saw her hit the fish with
her book and stun him. |
Capt. Kent help us a lot. Once he hooks the
fish, we get to reel them in. Don't think this is such a nice thing for
him to do. He avoids having to pull twenty pounds of dead weight off the
ocean floor up 175 feet.
He gives you that honor. Diana calls it "upper body
exercise."
You can avoid all this fun by driving to H. Salt Fish
& Chips.

I really wish this photo had come out the way my
mind's eye had seen it. It would have worked better with a little fill
flash.
Maybe next time...
|
Just another eagle.
Of course, up here, any eagle is a good eagle.
|
Jonathan Livingston Seagull... eat your heart
out. |
The view across the bay goes a little slower
when you are motoring on one engine.
"It's a good thing we have two when one goes
out!"
(No kidding!)
|
Three boats on the way to somewhere. I took
these photos to see how well the lens does. It does well. |
Rachel and Maria sit in the sun telling lies
about guys. Why are they smiling, do you think?
Really. I heard them.
I wouldn't lie about something like this.
|
Maria tries on a pair of shrimp. The color goes
nicely with her outfit, dontchathink? |
Just another Buck photo. |
Diana shows off lunch. She caught it so she gets
to show it.
|
Diana works out. This is what a workout looks
like aboard the Chester B if you aren't Capt. Kent, Rachel or Buck. |
If I were a dog, I'd want Capt. Kent to take me
to the beach and pee. I'd do it just to ride in the front of the boat and
feel the wind in my ears. |
My attempt at a double exposure with the S2. I
have a lot to learn.
This should be Perry's head in a glass.
|
Maria relaxes. She knows she will have to fish
later. |
Diana says, "It's a whale!"
Capt. Kent says, "How do you know?"
Diana says, "It's smoking!"
Capt. Kent says, "Whales don't smoke."

Rachel makes a lot of lists. I don't want to
know what's on them. After listening to Maria and her, you don't want to
know, either. |
Marie put the book down long enough to catch
more dinner. |
Rachel and Kent cooking dinner. Nice backlight
shot, dontchatink? |
Finally I'm in a dinner shot!!!!!! |
Life, or something like it. |
Hum "Taps" again. |
Good night from the Chester B and all the ships
at sea. |
