Reilly Fishing

Crazy Reilly
Reilly's first fish caught all by himself from the Indian River

Small but HUGE

Reilly cast his line. He then waited a few seconds and then he felt something start to tug on his line. Then he yanked it back and he felt something swimming/pulling back against the line. He started to real it in FAST. When the fish came out of the water it was squirming crazily. Then he heard a ?farting noise coming from the fist. He dipped it in the water and it was better. Brenden then came and took pictures of the fish. Reilly was fishing off of the bridge to Veteran's Island.

Brenden Scuba Diving

I had my final exam in college for the Instrument Rating course I scored a 93. So I took the FAA Instrument test and scored an 83, followed by the CFI which I scored a 90, and finally the Instrument Ground Instructor test where I scored a 92. Three tests in one day! Start SCUBA lessons tonight!!!

I didn't drown today, despite my best attempts. Scuba diving is tough. I was doing really great, breathing through that apparatus, looking through my goggle, equalizing my ears. Then they actually made me put my head under water. What the (you fill in that word) were they thinking, didn't they know that is how peop...le drown!!! Did the pool work, then they went crazy on me by moving us to a lake.
They said there was a platform 25 feet underwater that we could stand on, I really think they missed a zero on the end of that number. I was doing alright having fun, then we went to explore a boat that they had sunk. Ok, so I am headed d...own to this boat when all of a sudden I discover that it is white, a white sailboat, with a little black window facing me. Back story now...I watched JAWS and one of the scenes in that movie was a diver swimming up to a sunken white boat and that stupid shark comes flying out of that window, or so my over active imagination was telling me at that moment. Then my partner reached out and touched me, I have 2nd degree burns on my arms from the friction I generated trying to get to the surface.
I get to go to the ocean tomorrow. yay?!?

Did the ocean dive yesterday. Thankfully I was not any where near the dive instructor when he reached in a pulled a nurse shark out of a hole. But I did see it swimming away. I learned lots of things, one such thing is that Lobster in the ocean look a whole lot bigger and meaner than they do on my plate.
And I don't care if they say that things look 30 percent bigger underwater than on the surface, it is still big if it has teeth. And the ocean has ALOT of water, when I came up an was facing east (out to the ocean) and didn't see any land I about had a heart attack, you can take the desert rat out of the desert but you can never take the desert out of the desert rat, I like to see dirt. So now I am a certified Open Water Scuba Diver.

Ok - So Nicole is not really happy about being left out, so hopefully Nicole will be going soon. Because Nicole is so Jealous!!!! But she is really happy that Brenden was able to do this, but oh so envious.
