Windfishing
By Tom
My good friend Chris Freeman a fellow Brit(and Hot team rider) just got married to Liz Leete (my Fiances sister!) on Saturday. As part of the festivities there was a beach party stag night at Sprecks. With a light wind blowing I thought I might try a little windfishing and see if I could come up with something for the BBQ. This also proved an excellent opportunity to test the new Hi-5 7.5 on my 12"6" SUP. Much to the amazment of everyone (including myself) I caught two nice Omilu.
Andy, Chris's brother took this video of me when I returned to the beach with my catch.
Sprecks was turned into a colonial outpost with a British invasion. There followed beach games including Cricket, touch American Football and the headlining rock carrying event. I faired quite well in the games, scoring 7 and taking a couple of wickets in cricket, captaining Team England to Victory over Team USA (only one actual American - Will the captain- on the team.) and going undefeated in the Rock carrying. After the games we grilled up some food over the fire including the obligatory burnt sausage (a British BBQ staple). The fresh catch was cooked up by an ingenious method supplied by our Swedish friend David. We took brown paper bags and soaked then in seawater then rolled the fish up in them. This kept the fish from getting too hot and allowed it to cook slowly. The results were spectacular with delicious jucy fish that disapeared in about 30 seconds. Yum Yum!
More on the wedding to follow!
