First day back to work after a 5 days in OC, Maryland.
I'm not usually a beach person. Although, after this trip, I think I could become one. Usually the ride to/from the beach ruins any relaxation that I may have achieved at the beach.
I spent at least 4 hours everyday on the beach with the kids, and have the "road rash", or ocean bottom rash as it may be, to show for it. What a blast. I haven't had that much fun in the surf since I was about 10 years old.
We chartered a boat one day to go fishing. I can't say enough good things about this charter. Capt. Jeff Hurley runs "Whatever Guide Service" Whatever Guide Services - Ocean City, Maryland - HOME.
He was awesome. So easy going. The kids had a blast. He worked his tail off for us, even on a badly twisted ankle that he got only the day before while surfing. This guy grew up on the water in OC and knows the waters here like the back of his hand.
We caught blues, flounder, black bass, and Croaker. Both Flounder were nice as were the blues, although the blues, bass and Croaker were set free. I'm the only one in the family that eats fish so the flounder were all that I kept, of the fish anyway.
And on the way back to the dock, we pulled a dozen or so crab traps. At the end of the day, we were enjoying a bushel of crabs and flounder filets with the rest of the family. The crabs were much larger than what I have had to pay top dollar for on road side and in restaurants..definitely worth all the picking. I HIGHLY recommend that charter. We'll be going back and using "Whatever" for sure in the fall when the Stripers are running.
My brother-in-law went back a couple of days later on the same charter with his family to do tubing and clamming, and all came back with the same sense of excitement and satisfaction as our original fishing trip. The guy will do whatever you want to do, and will do just about whatever it takes to make you happy.
I was supposed to be back to work yesterday, but stayed an extra day and rented a pontoon boat for 4 hours. What a blast. Fished, tubed, beached it for lunch, swam...what a relaxing day. Everybody caught fish, got a chance to drive the boat, tube, etc.
Hard to be back at work after a vacation like that, especially knowing that the rest of the family is still there, but This vacation was what vacations are supposed to be.
