I was invited to go on a private charter fishing trip with Christine, her son Johnathon and one of his friends. We were doing a half-day coastal trip out of San Diego. We drove out the previous night and got a small Airbnb condo near the bay.

We set out nice and early. The day was totally gray and overcast, but still. It ended up being PERFECT for being out on the water.

What better use for Bill’s new griddle?

We deep fried some too. We had it all eaten up in a week. I guess I have to go out again!
