Every other year our family gets together on the Oregon Coast from our respective homes in different cities, states and countries. Our tradition is to go fishing the first day of our reunion so we have fish and crab to feed our crew throughout our weeklong stay. This time, we may have more than we bargained for! We’re taking home 50 crab, several rock fish and ling cod and one special catch that we can’t determine if it’s interesting or just plain ugly. We had some good laughs and good times with Mark and Buddy. We also encountered pretty rough waters and a couple of us vomited while others were queasy. By the time we were cruising back to shore we were smiling and happy with what we were bringing home. Good time!
