"Finally fish got the line tangled in the rudder and snapped it off, which was a huge disappointment to Joey and a huge relief to me."

For a minute I thought you meant the rudder snapped off!

Was predisposed to that conclusion since you put me in mind of a couple of island hops I took in the Philippines.

One in a small boat overloaded with fresh water bound for a waterless island. I thank god that it wasn't me who eventually commanded the water merchants to dump their cargo, as the swells rose and the chop broke over the two inch high hull.

Or, how about the putt-putt outrigger from Cebu to Negros whose motor stops midway, as the swell rises and the sun descends!

I was truly scared twice in a 10 day visit to the Philippines.

I enjoy your posts, Steven.

Reminds me of a time in Canada. Father, son and their wives were in a boat fishing walleyes. The son hooks a musky in the 50 inch class and after a long battle gets it to the boat. The father cut the line because he was afraid of the big toothy critter in the boat with the women.

Never been in a kayak but we used to do some fishing with a canoe in streams and ponds. Lots of fun but not the room or control of a bass boat. It was about $30,000 cheaper though.
