After establishing a day of hooky on Monday, February 8th, this was the response to my brother for an email invitation to ride, surf, fish, and otherwise be brothers. It was ofcourse, our 42nd birthday...
Sounds like a bromance!
Dad, Sean, Rudy, Korey and yours truly set off for a man day on Monday at 7am with the car packed to the brim with food, surfboards, wetsuits, fishing gear, and road bikes. Sean came from So Cal and met us at Jalama at 8am. Wind was already up so we changed plans and drove to Refugio. There was no dissapointment in this change of plans and God really provided the setting with warm sun, surf, plenty of fish to be had, and a special treat none of us really expected...
The boys ready for a bromantic ride from Refugio up the Canyon (Rudy, me, Dad, Sean, and Korey)
The boys atop the peak above Refugio - 4200 feet from sea level in 13 miles. God blessed us with a very fitting gift in this experience for our 42nd... What a nice surprise. Seriously, you could see Shell Beach areas from atop this peak...
Korey and Sean on the descent - it was very cold until halfway. 13 mile descent was a bit hairy...
Rudy with the first barred perch on the boards! I was sporting my new wetsuit from the wifey and kids!
Yours truly with a really decent sized perch. You may not be able to tell by the pic but this lil fish was about a pound!
The Martin Boys...
Very grateful to those who made the time to enjoy this day of play. God has been so faithful in my life and has placed very precious friendships to keep me in check. It is my prayer that we all honor His name in our activity, our fun, and our birthday celebrations.Thank you Dad, Rudy, and Korey for helping Sean and I celebrate this great day. Happy Birthday Seany Boy! God bless you all.
