no pictures today, sorry.
We successfully woke up early this morning with the intent to go fishing.
Then we had monkey sex and fell back asleep.
We did eventually drag our sorry asses out of bed and pack up the car with our fishing gear. The day was windy, like yesterday, but warmer and sunnier. Still, the gulf side of the island was all turbulent waves. We headed for the bay side of the island, where the water was calmer.
We fished all day. My fingers were covered with shrimp and squid guts from the bait…hence…no pictures. I didn’t want to get that shit on my camera.
Sadly, all we caught with our poles were small, inedible fish - mostly pinfish, and one croaker, which LOOKS like the pinfish except it kept making creepy croaking noises as I pulled out the hook.
Even though they’re inedible, we plan to use them as bait fish for the next time we go fishing - off the pier. Maybe we’ll catch something worth eating!
I should ALSO mention, that the majority of the fish catching today was done by ME. I have that magic touch, I guess. not to deprive Kev of his masculinity completely - he caught a few - hehehehehe. However, my right arm is now SORE AS FUCK. Which means Kev will have to take care of his own business for the next day or two 
We found a crab trap in the house, and managed to use it to catch one big motherfucking blue crab. Only one, but Kev left the trap in a tidal pool overnight, so maybe there will be more waiting for us tomorrow. Anyway, it was rather horrifying to watch Kev disembowel the hapless creature before dousing it with melted butter and wrapping it in foil, ready for the grill.* However, the crab was DELICIOUS. We ate it along with grilled steaks and the shrimp we bought out the back of a van (actually, a TRAILER) from a dirty and hairy guy who does his own shrimping.
Florida is awesome.
*while I seem to enjoy the process of catching food and certainly enjoy eating food…the part in between those two seems to squik the hell out of me.

Ooooh, the meal sounds awesome! Better than the Hostess cupcake I had for dinner–the sale I’m running is playing hell with planning meals.
Great photos. I esp. like the ones of the cooked Evil Science Chicken. The one on the grill and you with a tan.
Squik? That’s a new one. Fresh grilled crab sounds great!
Hope you catch a big one tomorrow.
Can you refresh my memory on what constitutes “monkey sex” as to regular, boring old sex?
uhhhh…
monkey sex involves butt slapping and neck nibbling?
no throwing feces, though.
sorry there isn’t a day 5 - our internet went out last night and we just got it back.
just more fishing pics. That’s on the menu for today as well…once it cools off a bit BECAUSE IT IS HOT AND HUMID AS FUCK RIGHT NOW!!!
we are holed up in air conditioning for a little bit…then headed to the dollar store to buy ant spray. STUPID ANTS!
our fault, really - we’re so used to Sadie cleaning up our potato chip crumbs, we’re being pretty messy.
Butt slappin? Where are the PICTURES, woman!
(and the only thing better than crab like that on the grill is lobster, but you’re right, I also prefer a little distance between myself and the food chain. That’s why god made restaurants, or at least, fishmongers)
Sounds like fun, well except for the icky fish parts…
