Remember back when...

Remember the fun we used to have on the boat that is no more? Recently, Lee decided to trade our 20' Center Console boat for a car that they much needed. I rather we held on to the boat because it's worth infinitely more to me than it's monetary value on the market. But I also understand their present need for a land vehicle. However, I like to think that I work hard to free up the time to be able to enjoy boat rides in La Jolla like Memorial Day of '06.

This was Julie's first trip on the boat. Looking back at the photos, it's crazy how much we forget without images like these to remind us.

Remember back when Julie drove the boat while we fished?

(Not sure how Denny could be in the photo taken from the previous angle and also insert himself in this photo taken from a totally different angle.) Guess Denny must really like to see himself in photos. LOL

Remember when Julie went bendo?

And what her resulting catch on the boat was? A beautiful bonito.

Remember Julie taking her turn at gaffing a fish?

Remember her first swing and the missed gaff? The fish is fast when it's at the surface. Even experience fisherman miss gaff all the time.

But Denny still got the fish in the end. A bigger grade La Jolla Bonito. Looks like a headshot judging by the blood.

Remember how we did on that trip? Who said having a women on board a boat is bad luck?

Photos like these definitely bring back memories and help us to remember that day. That's why it's so important to document our life as much as possible. Cheers!
