Fishin'
Andy and I went boating / fishing in Lake Lanier today with my coworker Brian. Brian has a sailboat, and there really wasn't any wind, so we never put the sails up. Fortunately, he has a small outboard motor as well, which was good enough to get us where we were going.
I think Andy was under the impression that "fishing" is the same as "catching fish." He's since learned that "fishing" equals "old guys drinking beer, and kids being bored, because the fish aren't biting." Overall it was a good time, though. We had to cut the anchor loose, since the bottom of Lake Lanier is full of trees and junk, and we snagged one pretty good.
In the course of 4 hours, I managed to snag my line on
- The propeller
- The rudder
- The line from the fishing pole on the other side of the boat
- 2 unknown miscellaneous "things" on the bottom of the lake. Probably tree chunks.
No fish were harmed in the making of this trip.
Pictures below.
 Andy holding on to the sail "thig-a-ma-bob". I don't know my boating terms. According to this site, it appears to be called the "boom".
 Me giving the double thumbs up. At this point, if I remember correctly, we'd been out for about 2 hours and were taking a break to eat some leftover KFC.
 And finally, a couple more pictures of Andy.
