Seabase: Day 5

Woke up and ate eggs for breakfast. The man serving them called them "cackleberries" because chickens supposedly cackle. He was also serving moo-juice (milk) but I didn't take any. I also had some fruit.

Went sailing to a place with lobsters. Went snorkeling.

Played Buoy Rodeo, a game where you put the buoy between your legs and jump into the water. You have to stay on the buoy for eight seconds without flipping. I tried it no handed and Captain Charles held the rope and I totally belly slapped which was really funny.

Ate burgers for lunch. Convinced some Brian and Mike to try mayo on their burgers. They liked it.

Sailed to a place called the Trash Pile (no it's not Wantagh). Snorkeled with Endeavor. Picture taken around that time.

Fished while some people were in the water. Ate snake steaks for dinner. Captain Charles told us they were boa constrictor steaks from the Everglades. Also had mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, and bread.

Fished for a while with squid. It got later and I stopped fishing. Incoming storm.

Mike and Brian started fishing again and caught a bunch of fish so I joined in. I caught a keeper! It was 10.25 inches and a gray snapper.

Captain Charles taught me to gut and filet it. I then de-scaled it, bagged it, cleaned the deck, cleaned the knife and cutting board, and threw the fish in the ice box.

Raining outside so I'm sleeping downstairs.

Nite.
