I don't know if I would row through surf like that, but our cousins in the southern hemisphere don't seem to mind.

Have A Great Weekend!

Unfortunately, I'm laid up with a cold, so I won't be going anywhere. But you can, especially if you live in warmer environment.

Sigh, I wish I was there. Oh well, maybe if I make a rum drink.

Fish On Fridays.

Shawn caught a nice 72lb sailfish from the cockpit of his kayak.
"I think the first thing I remember seeing was the bill, and saying, “What the hell am I going to do now?” I was thinking marlin, and that I was going to die. Then I noticed the sail, and of course assumed sailfish, but having never seen one or ever even had the vaguest idea that I might catch one, I was only guessing. The thing was leaping everywhere, tailwalking across the surface, and whipping that spear around like it was trying to throw it at me."

And Now For Something Completely Different.

Synchronized fish or fun with magnets?
Fu Yandong, a Chinese magician has sparked outrage from animal rights groups with a trick in which he gets goldfish to swim in sync. They suspect that Fu uses magnets embedded inside the fish.

The trick involves six fish in a shallow tank on a covered table, who swim in formation at Fu's command.

Fu has so far refused to reveal the secret.

"My fish," he wrote on his microblog, are "living happily".

But his assurances have failed to quell the controversy.

In an open letter on Monday, 53 Chinese non-governmental organisations urged TV stations not to broadcast Fu's act in the future, and demanded the trick not be repeated during CCTV's Lantern Festival special.

The groups expressed fears the trick could lead to animals being tortured if viewers tried to copy it.
