    This week I was hoping for something a little extra. At the start of this weekend I hadn't shot a grouper yet all summer and I was hoping I would get the first one in spite of the fact that the weather forecast was pretty horrible and I was only going to get to dive Saturday because we had to get back home early this weekend to make it in time for a friend's daughter's birthday. So with little time and an unfavorable forecast, I was going to see what I could make of it. When I woke up Saturday morning, I figured I would make the best of my early rising and top off the boat even though I probably wasn't even going to put it in this weekend as the bay boat was already in the water.

    After getting back from filling up the boat, I have issues parking the boat trailer in the field because of all the rain over the past few weeks. The field had turned into more of a monster truck rally arena than anything else and after giving up on parking the trailer where I needed to due to tire slippage, I proceed to get the truck stuck in about 12 inches of water, sod and mud. Luckily a campground neighbor with a 4 wheel drive van was able to strap up to the hitch on my truck and give me a pull out of this temporary swamp. A situation whose humor was not lost on the friends of this Gator (a Gator stuck in a swamp, come on...).
