I remember the first time I was in Dallas for business in August 1993.
We went outside around 3pm to take a break from training and the heat & humidity took my breath away, I immediately broke into a disgusting sweat! :icon_sunny:

I've been back to visit Fort Worth a few times, I just love the atmosphere of that city! :thumbsup:

 

I hear ya Anti. Good morning

A former co-worker and I went out for salmon in his 16 footer on Lake Michigan.
Another co-worker who didn't fish (that we knew of) wanted so go , so he did.

Waves so bad (for those ocean familiar folks , the great lakes have chops vs swells, they pound a boat) we were doing more of an an exaggerated four foot jig action jigging when trying to troll than actually trolling. With the attendant side to side rolls.

The other co-worker finally got some color back to him after fading in and out for a while. Then asked when it was going to be his turn to drive the boat up and down. L.o.l..
He got to ride up toward the bow on the run back to the dock. Bang ,bang, bang . Pound,pound,pound , from chop wave to chop wave.....He pretty well got cured of wanting to go out on that boat in the wind.

Oh , no fish caught either on that day!

Definitely had chop! I could handle the 2-3's better when we had the Triton 2486, but not in this Lund. We were supposed to go out 12 miles to deep water for the big fish on Sunday. It was worse than Saturday. I wouldn't have made it and he knew it. I don't get seasick so much, last 2 times it was a combination of rough waters and high heat. One or the other I can handle, but not both at the same time. The derby ends on the 25th. I told him the way I felt after this weekend, I didn't care, he can take out one of his buddies instead. Saturday the boat was so hot! I knelt down, trying to get a fish in the boat. My knee hit the hinge to the live well. I have a for real 1/4" blister from that. We had an umbrella set up in a rod holder to give us shade. 6 lines out. Inside had a fish on. I'm trying to reel it in, the wind gusts and up and out of the rod holder goes the umbrella. It twirls around and lands upside down in the water just like a cartoon. But worse, it proceeds to get tangled up in the outside board. So, he take's the fish and is barking me. I am frantically trying to get the middle line in. Oop, there it goes! The umbrella sinks, taking board with it. Had to stop and clear all the lines and back track to the last line. Thankfully the board came free, so we are just out an umbrella. Oh, yea, and tehn there is the worst sunburn I have had in years! One of my ears is burnt on the inside! My forehead is burnt! I was wearing a hat! What the heck? Some days it doesn't matter how much sunscreen you put on, you are still gonna get burnt.
 

Back to the dentist for some repair work after lunch. I'll be bringing along some home made sauerkraut to soften him up so he doen't abuse me to much.....:laughing7::laughing7::laughing7:
 

Mornin all! (Hey , it's only quarter to noon...).

Book reading hangover from reading too late last night.
Thank goodness for coffee!

W.D. :
I hear ya on the getting sunburned from weird angles on the water.
It's like a solar reflector with different angles as the sun moves.

I'm slackin bad again on the fishing. But used to wet a cotton wide brimmed hat, wring it out and wear it in the heat. It substituted for some sweating.
One hot mid July black powder/historic shoot I used a linen napkin wetted and worn under my hat.
Wetted and rolled up it /or a similar textile can be worn around/over the back of the neck for cooling too.
Your trip reads like I would have been good for about twenty minutes is all though...
