Well, while going up a chair lift at Alta this past week (ski trip with kids) my cell phone rings... it's one of my fishing friends
Jim?...
me: yeah
did you get my text message?
me: no, I have a crappy phone only my kids text.
what are you doing next week?
me: uhhhh not sure right now I have to check my calendar...hey, I am am kind of tided up at the moment, can I call you back?. (holding on with one hand and holding the phone with the other, over a deep rock gorge and 7 deg F)
My boss keeps a boat in Costa Rica (with full time capt and mate) and said we could use it for 3 days next week. You interested?
me: Really? Is this a joke?
No, it is for real. It is an awesome 62' custom sportfish, really nice. He keeps it in Puerto Jimenez, we will be staying at the Parrot Bay Lodge, it is not the greatest place but it is fine for fishermen. Can you go?
me: uhhhhhhhhh, pause, are you kidding? it sounds unbelievable, yeah! I think I can, I will need to juggle a few things but yeah.
We leave Wed, return Sunday, should be fun, I will email you the details.
me: Hey man...I really gotta go but I will talk to you when I get back home. bye
------------------
I will take a few photos and let you know how it goes, should be fun. From winter to summer in a few days.
