Gone Fishin


Lets all give thanks to Neptune for returning 3 of his sons.
Three Mexican fishermen ran out of petrol and their 25 ft boat was blown out to sea for 5,000 miles, they left the town of El Limon, and ended up 9 months later at the Marshall islands, luckily they were picked up by a Taiwanese tuna boat. Ok who was supposed to get the petrol for the bloody motors?, I bet that was the main topic of discussion for 9 months, and I bet it was brought up everytime they had to eat a raw seagull or fish, Old Knudsen can relate, he was fishing on a 22 ft boat once, a heavy wooden clinker built boat, it was so sea worthy the Vikings would have been proud, we had no oars and couldn't swim but we always made sure we had petrol, we got lucky, those Mexicans also got lucky, you lucky jammy bastards .
