When he decided to move down a point it was far more treacherous than either thought. With no moon and little ambient light, moving down the shoreline looks doable so Mike heads on his way with the understanding that if he finds fish at the next point he'll send me the "disco lights" and I'll follow. After 20 minutes of a red light going mostly up and down, just to get to the top of an 80 or so foot cliff, I was reminded of the noble character Sid, from "Ice Age" as he stares into the cave of doom in which he replies "I choose Life". Yes, disco lights or not, I decided I was not going over there UNLESS I saw him tumble - which was a real possibility. He spent another 20 minutes just getting to to where he could make a few casts. I would have died. It was nuts.

A great experience.
The expression on everyone's faces was priceless - I was howling.
