Snapper-tastic day

We have just got home from a day out fishing. We had an invite from a friend who had his 2 kids to amuse while his wife (my lovely friend Michelle who featured on the 16/10/2011) was off doing a fun run not my idea of fun...running that is

We left Maraetai around 8am in the boat, and had a smooth ride out by Waiheke, pootled around a number of spots before striking a gold patch. This was my one and only keeper of the day. I'm rather proud, and it helped to feed us this evening. We had 5 keepers, but loads of small 'uns that we threw back.

We even had a brief visitation from a blue penguin cruising past when we were at this spot. The ride home was rather harrowing as the wind had picked up and the waves were a lot larger than I'd anticipated.

In other news, the Tooth Fairy is visiting tonight, I was going to blip my gappy princess, but you get my fish instead!
