Matthews Troop 46 - Deep Sea Fishing Trip

Many thanks to the scouts, leaders, and esteemed visitors that were able to be a part of our Deep-Sea Fishing Trip this year. We spent 5 hours at sea with little or no sea sickness. While we caught some fish at sea, we then caught more at the grocery store. Once we returned to the campsite, our adult cook team got to work while the rest of the leaders and visitors took the scouts to the beach for a couple of hours of fun. Many thanks to our lifeguards, aquatics supervisor, and other adults for keeping a close eye on the scouts as they swam in the ocean with regular buddy checks and kept the scouts in no more than chest high water. That evening, the cook team; Brian, Ryan, and me fried 20 lbs of french fries, 6-8 pounds of fish, and prepared a large pot of low country boil. Everyone ate well and all of the food was consumed. The scouts played a lot of gaga ball and had a terrific time. We also managed to avoid any significant rain. We had sprinkles on the way back on the boat and a few sprinkles on the way home after we got into the cars. Again, thanks everyone for a great weekend. Here is a link to the troop website gallery. It is already populating with pictures.
