Title: "Island Jam"-2015
Post by: fujimo on August 15, 2015, 10:24:00 PM
so Cody ( krasus) came up for a week long visit in paradise- what a blast!!
nice long days, and late nights in the shop, we built bows,fixed forms, cody built an awesome quiver, did a little stumping, and to top it off we went out in the boat for an overnighter- and two days salmon fishing. filled up on some awesome chinook and coho salmon...
what a blast- cool getting to know a person behind the tradgang persona- had an awesome time- made a new friend and also  got heaps done!!
"sorry hunee... cant do the chores- ya know- that freakin' guy is still here- i better go and help him out before he hurts hisself- sorry babee!! gotta run...."    :D  

anybody else wanna come visit- if i play this right- i can spend the rest of my life in my shop- just come in for meals and conjugal rights!!    :laughing:    

seriously though... great having cody in the shop, he is a very skilled carpenter, and an accomplished bowyer- so was great being able to work without the coaching of a total neophyte, not that i mind that either- just a different vibe.

hope cody puts up some pics

Yep got it!  How do you lose a 6 ft by 16 inch case when I saw it get loaded into the plane and unloaded. Makes no sense. Lol beer run time!

Here they are. Tried to upload to many pics at once.

That was a good sized fish- Cody is a big tough guy, he kinda dwarfs that fish.
Look at the tail on him!!


On the fish Roy, not on cody   :bigsmyl:

Looks like you guys had quite the adventure!

I like building bows as much as the next guy, but when there's fishing like that .... I don't know how you ever bring yourself back to dry land!

thats my dad Roy.. an hes one mean SOG    :D    
was a pretty good day fishing, had better, but also had a lot worse too.
Cody knows his way around a fish- so we didnt lose one, once he had it set- i nearly lost one with the net though...ooops    :o  
water was too rough to go look for halibut!
6 to 8 ft swells 5 second wave interval- blowing 20 to 25 knots- she was a wild ride - and thats no exaggeration!!
usually we pick our days- and only go out when its near perfect- but ol Krasus was ready to go fish- and  i am always game!!
