The two greenhorns from the jetties were nice guys but I think we overwhelmed them. They didn't talk much. I think they were scared. When we lost site of land they started getting nervous. The only thing I remember them saying was "are we ever going to stop." Those two guys will never forget that trip. At one point I told them we were lost and taking on water and asked them if they knew how to swim. One of them jumped overboard immediately and I was trolling with 7 lines out. I've seen stupid things done while fishing, but that might take the Darwin award.
My other two friends came back from a funeral to fish for a few days. It was good relief for them as they both lost a childhood friend. Man, we hammered the fish and whiskey. I'm still trying to figure out if my arms are sore from pumping up fish or shaking margaritas.
