A Blue Marlin |
Bill had a 35 ft. fishing boat and they went fishing several times for Marlin out in the Gulfstream.
And one day
they caught a Blue, Chuck said, “It was a real beauty.” They wrestled it for well over
an hour, I don’t remember who it was working the reel at the time they got it
right up to the boat.

Everyone on the boat was so disappointed. They fished awhile longer and got no more strikes and called it a day.
A few days later they went out again and this time boated a White Marlin.
Bill and
another guy on the Boat, Les Ettinger would go out diving on his boat once in
awhile to the 12 Mile Reef. It was a great place to snorkel because it was
quite shallow in many places.
One day they
went out diving, Les was already overboard. Bill was still on the boat, and Bill
said, “Suddenly Les broke the surface and looked as though he was crawling really fast on
top of the water.”
There he found backed up in a deep crevice of the Coral on the deeper side of the reef a huge Tuna, it was sleeping, but its eyes were open.

We had a cat named Priss, one day when Chuck was giving her a bath in the tub; she reached up to grab hold and one of her claws hooked him under the left eye. It didn't really hurt, but it bled under the skin and gave him a beautiful shiner!
When he went
in to the Boat he got teased by all the guys that maybe I had blacked his eye, he told them the cat had done it, but none of them believed him. On the weekend
Les came over to the house to visit for awhile.
As he was
about to leave he asked Chuck again, “C B how did you say you got that shiner?”
Chuck answered, “Dammit Les I told you the cat did it.”
