Fishing Baby Wipes

Eli finished building his Star Wars Lego starship that he started working on yesterday. He did such an incredible job with it that Jaeden could not resist picking it up and flying it around the full deck of the boat.

For most of the afternoon I let out the fishing line to troll behind the boat in an effort to catch something to eat. After a few hours I reeled the line in to find something caught on the line. Excited I reeled it in but was a little disappointed with what I found. The only thing on the end of the line was a well rinsed biodegradable baby wipe that had probably been tossed overboard a few hours earlier. I’m not sure if its just that we don’t have enough weight on the line but we have not caught anything yet. I’m still holding out for a Tuna fish but don’t know if my 60 pound fishing line could handle the pull when we are moving at a steady pace. As the speed picked up I reeled in the line with the determination that I would try again another time.
