Any reports from Skein or Mr. Fisherman?

Anybody that hears from either of these TUNA! infatuated characters, please post here.

Inquiring minds want to know.

Tuna Today - Skein, WP, Sea Jypzee & Sharie Marie.

And the rockn’ reel went also.

Here’s a pic of the skeinmobile on it’s maiden tuna voyage:



On the way to the sacred tuna grounds!



Up real late and up real early but missed Nancy’s departure and the Sharie Marie. When I got there WP was just departing and Skein was just putting in with the help of Ray (Mr. Fisherman). Rockn’ Reel just showed up but both parties didn’t realize each other being ifisher’s so they didn’t get to talk to them until after they departed Depoe.

The Enterprise was at Tradewinds dock at zero dark thirty so it would be my guess he is tuna hunting today also.

The ocean looked good when they left and the forecast is good so I suspect they will all have a great time and do some serious catchin’.

Good luck to all of them and it was a real pleasure meeting Skein (Jim) last night and talking with him again this morning. Best of luck on his maiden voyage and I’m sure he’ll have a great time putting the other more serious blood in the boat today.

If I hear anything (fishing/catching reports and distance) via the VHF during the day I will post it.

Today
N wind 15 kt. Wind waves 3 ft. W swell 6 ft at 9 seconds.
Tonight
N wind 15 kt...easing to 10 kt after midnight. Wind waves 3 ft. W swell 5 ft at 9 seconds. Patchy fog late.

I appoligize for not knowing the name of Skein's new boat. Barely knew his name. :grin:

Dan - I hadn't heard that Jim and Janice named their boat yet, so don't feel bad!

Anyone? Do they have a name for the boat?

[rustyl]

I believe they named it "Irish Mist"

[Popeye]

I'll drink ta that! :grin:

[Born to be Wild]

I won't!

Well maybe Orange Carrot Sobe!

Just talked to Judy at Tradewinds and she said the Enterprise is tuna fishing and catching. That's all she knew. So I imagine the ifish fleet is doing some selective pruning also. (11:45AM)

I'd look pretty good in a boat like Jim and Janis' whatever the name is.

What an awesome sight.

:grin:

Pilar - and just what would YOU name her if you had such a boat?

[Pilar]

"Hardship"

Or

"Albi-damn"

One of the 3 fates of greek mythology would work too.


"Clotho", Spinner of the web or thread of life.
"Lachesis", The measure of how long the thread will be.

or

"Atropos", The cutter of the thread.

Which doc will it be Jen?

Unfortunately when I just called Ray (Mr. Fisherman) he answered his cell phone in McMinnville. Guess there was a little more win chop than what Jim appreciated. Bummer!

Can't blame Jim though as I'm not fond of that rock and rolly stuff either.

Kinda bummed they didn't get into the tuna. Sounds like they met up with some warm water but just a little bit crusty. Guess they were out of the water around noonish.

Haven't heard from the others yet.

Hmm...

Hardship has both positive and negative connotations, depending on how you look at it, but mostly negative.

of those you list, my money would be on Clotho, but that's a terrible name for a boat. Who would know what that was about.

The others... well, the same, but even still, could be construed as negative. Don't wanna tempt the fates, right?

Hey, Dan, thanks for the pics! They're great.

When do you sleep???

I'm going to tell the story in a different thread. Look for the word "Timid." :blush:

But not ashamed. A good voyage is one where you make it back.
