Max Lands Two Sharks
Angie loves fishing and has always wanted to go tarpon fishing. So she and Max took off at 8:00 AM on Friday for a half-day of adventure with Captain Paul D’Antoni of Seize the Day Charters while Mason and I hung out at the RV.
The day before we studied about tarpons as part of Max’s homeschooling. We found out they can get up to 8 feet long, can weigh up to 350 lbs., and like to eat small fish and crustaceans.
She brought some children’s motion sickness medicine along just in case Max got sea sick but she never needed to break it out. Max loved the boat ride, even when they hit the large swells.
The tarpon got away, unfortunately. But Max managed to catch two sharks (with some help from Captain Paul).
a hammerhead…
and a lemon shark…
We’re visiting with some friends in St. Petersburg until Tuesday, then it is off to LazyDays in Seffner (outside of Tampa). We have a leaky water heater that has been dogging us since we left Maine, so it is a good excuse to visit. LazyDays is the largest RV dealership in the country. And it has this enormous complex that is a destination in and of itself. Since we are so close, we have to stop by just to say we’ve been there.
