Not much to say today. . .but

I figured I should at least attempt to update this blog. Went out on the Kuumu kai to try and nail some of the dodo's that have been swimming off the coast, but to no avail, we couldn't find a patty from here to dana point. Actually we did find just one that had a bit of size, but there was a seal on it, so there wouldn't be any dodo's under it. The water has been insanely warm the last few weeks. It was 81 degrees in HB two weeks ago, which is hawaiian water temps. It ahs cooled down considerably though, probably in the mid 60s. The month of July was an absolute furnace on the West coast. It was hot to very hot for about three weeks. We drove up to SanFrancisco twice, once for a funeral, and the second time for an AMD press event, and it was 115 degrees in some places. The funthing though we got to see the Golden gate Bridge from a different angle and even cruised down Lombard street.








The picture below is a picture of the leopard shark that we caught the last time we went fishing. Jeremy hooked it and it was pulling line so he handed off to me and Ibrought it in. It took about thirty minutes to bring it in as it took me around the boat two times. We were fishing in about four feet of water using live sardines. We were hooking these things all afternoon but they kept breaking off the 20lb line. This was one of two we got to the boat. All fished were released except the sand bass and spotted bay bass that wer caught.
