Fishing with the family

Canaan only had school one day this last week so we all went fishing. The sea was so calm. I am thankful cause I easily get motion sickness.

The water is so clear and beautiful. We could look down at some of the coral heads below us and see bright little fish swimming around. But we weren't to interested in them we were looking for something to fry. This is a blue parrot fish. The color is so pretty right when they are caught. And guess what? These fish have pretty blue bones.

Judah loves the ride. Canaan and his yellow tail.
Patient fishermen.
Yourgin is teaching me and the boys how to fish Roatan style. They use a plastic bottle with a fishing line wrapped on it. It is actually very practical. I haven't quit got down how to cast to far, but Yourgin twirls it in the air and lets go and that hook goes way out there, then he sets the bottle down in the boat and when a fish grabs the bait the bottle makes noise, then he picks it up and reels it in. He caught so many fish.
While Yourgin cleaned the fish we went over by the mangroves so the boys could climb around and swim in the shallow water. Look how high they climb!
We caught enough fish that we gave some to two other families and still had enough for 5 meals for us. Yourgin cuts it up, seasons it and divides it into bags enough for a meal, and we put it in the freezer. We had a wonderful day enjoying Gods creation, and spending time together as a family.
