The Western Province South League competition took place at on Saturday 26 March 2011 so Earl, Jay and I went up to stay at our holiday house.

The guys did not do as well as they hoped.  The only ones to catch fish were Earl and Jay.  The Gordon’s Bay beat team did very well and Gus’s boat wasn’t too bad either.

There were three juniors staying with us – Scott fished with Gus and Sam and Jay with Earl.   Gus and Jacqui stayed in the second bedroom, the boys in the lounge and Mike, the other adult who fishes with Earl in the outside room.    Finky also fishes with Gus and he stayed at his own place along with a household of guests.

After fishing all day the boys were not tired enough to go to bed so after fresh fried fish for supper they went to the harbour to fish off the wall and by 11 o’clock they still weren’t home.  Jacqui and I had to go and fetch them. When they saw us they packed up but still insisted on walking back to the house.

While the guys were fishing Jacqui and I took Karla to the beach and had calamari and chips at an outdoor cafe for lunch.  Back at the house we had to help Karla colour in, make plaster of Paris fairies, paint them and play with stickers.  So different to boys – she doesn’t bounce.

Arriving home

We did the Fair Lady cross-word puzzle read our books and did several sadukas.  (First time I’ve ever done a Saduka – quite addictive – I’m never going to do one again!)

Earl was exhausted after all the dealings of the weekend but still went to sea on Sunday.  Gus wasn’t going to go but Karla insisted he take her so off they went too.  The sea was a bit rough and the poor kid got sea-sick but after the first oops she settled down and enjoyed the morning.

We were packed and ready to go by half past two – after much fuss and stressing from the men – had a lovely quiet trip home and enjoyed sashimi for supper.
