The Tim and Jim Adventure (continued)

Tim and I went fishing today, caught two nice sized tunas, and that was just in a couple of hours. It was a late start this morning since the mosquitoes kept Tim awake all night and so he slept in late and I had to stay in bed as well, I didn't want to disturb him. Now I know how to catch tuna

Last night we bar-be-qued one of the tuna, and have a half a tuna left over for sandwiches today, and now it's up reasonably early to get some fishing done, some mussels collected, some hiking in the forest above smokehouse Bay.

Well we did that great hike in the woods, a very ambitious hike and it felt hard whilst doing it, but today, a day later and I feel great. I was whipped after the hike, but I had a long swim to the beach and woke up after a cold shower and I felt great. We caught 4 snappers in the mussel farm, Tim caught them in about 15 minutes.

Of course the age old question came up, who was the greatest fisherman in the zodiac, the one who caught the fish or the one who guided the catcher to the fish? Of course, it was the guide, moi, and so I claim the title as Greatest Fishing Guide in the Southern Hemisphere. So we quickly got to Port Fitzroy in the nick of time to get more ice and beer and then off to Smokehouse Bay to bar-be-que the snapper and the mussels we had collected from the bottom of the floats in the mussel farm.

Whangaparapara promises to be more fun, with Richard and Mary.
