Circus Fish

The kid who lives next door at home (up NOrth,) used to train  "circus" fish.  He would lay on the dock and drop pieces of bread in the water, and the bluegills would swarm around hoping to score some bread.  Soon, he could just hold the bread down near the surface, and they would nab it.  Finally, when he got the feeding frenzy really wound up, he could hold the bread several inches above the water, and the "circus" bluegills would leap out, and grab the bread out of his hand.   That's what Pam was trying to do today with some cheez-its and a school of snappers.  They ate the crackers, but she couldn't coax them into jumping.

 

I mentioned earlier that there are a lot of dogs here at this marina.  One of the friendliest and best behaved is "Sammie".  I've learned that if you say "woof woof" to Sammie, she will kiss the person closest to her.  Today, when I said "woof woof", Sammie found someone whose hair exactly matches Sammie's.  

Bill and Joyce drove down today from Pompano Beach, and brought Bill's cousins John and Phyllis.  The rain continued most of the day...................

but we took the boat out anyway.  We made it out Tavernier Creek, back in Snake Creek, and down to the Islamorada Fish Co for a late lunch.  The usual three hour tour.

Great company, great lunch.
