Fishing!
Last Sunday afternoon Megan and I were invited to go out on a boat. Initially we thought we were going to do some swimming and maybe surfing. The guy who owned the boat, Dennis, had seen some birds feeding on tiny fish which usually means that there is tuna feeding too. So, we went fishing too. When fishing the Pacific for large tuna in Micronesia you don't use a pole you simply take some large fishing line, about 100 feet, attach a shiny lure, toss it out the back of the boat and hold on to the line with a glove then proceed to drive at 20 mph in large circles. While our host was demonstrating this he caught an 18 inch 10ish pound Skipjack Tuna...

About that "another person on our boat who caught a fish;" his name is David & he's a local. This guy made all his own spears for spear-fishing. He goes swimming with one of his spears, and returns with something in his mouth... yes, a fish. This small fish was to be used as bait for bigger fish, but the opportunity never arose. So, on our way back in the boat, David cuts up the fish, pulls out a bottle of soy sauce and garlic, and we all chow down on some fresh sashimi! Yum, that was pretty cool.
You guys are even meeting new people! I'm so glad. Did classes start already? They start here on Monday.
