i know i've been a fool since you've been gone

Woke up bright (kinda dark, actually) and early at 5:00 AM. Got to Chester's a bit before 6:00, and sat around for a little bit while everybody was making final preparations. Eventually we rolled out, with Kevin driving. About an hour later, we arrived at Capitola. Kevin, Tom, Nick and myself shared a boat, and we all had a great time catching a boat load of fish (hahaha). Many king fish, and a few rock cods were caught. As beginner's luck would have it (that, or my lucky boxers), I caught the most rock cod, hehe. We found Nemo's extended family, and we'll be eating them for the next two weeks. I had a great time and enjoyed my virgin fishing trip. Prior to today, I've not been on a boat with a sea sick possibility in many, many years. Fortunate that nobody got sick. Around 4:30 we left, with my driving this time. Thanks to all my passengers for falling asleep and leaving me awake by myself. As far as Capitola, the beach isn't as great as I've been told, but I'm hoping it's cuz 1) I went to the wrong beach, or 2) I went at a wrong time. Oh. Pics will be up asap.

As for traditional 4th of July celebrations, I watched fireworks on tv. It isn't exactly 4x4ing like we did a few years ago, but I was pretty tired anyways. Oh, and everyone... thanks for (not) buying me fireworks last year. Really. Don't drink and drive.
