Ok, so we all started out at 4am...8 people in a little SUV, a little cramped but spirts were up. About an hour and a half later we arrived in Fortescue, NJ. Ready to hop on the boats we reserved and start the party back up.
HMMM, first problem, they don't rent fishing poles and between 8 people we had only brought one. Second problem, the owner didn't like us because we were tattooed, loud and obnoxious and decided to refund our money (a plus) and send us packing. Ok, shit happens, we tryed to find another company to rent to us with no avail...finally we ended up 10 miles down the road renting little wooden crabbing boats. We had to get 2 and split the party 4 and 4.
Of course I get on the boat with captain control freak. I decided to jump off the boat and swim because there were no crabs in New Fricken Jersey any bigger than mosquitoes. Dumb move. There was no step or ladder to get back on the boat and captain control freak is more of a woman than I am and can't help me get back in..the other 2 were too busy holding their crotches to stop the pee to help. I push the boat over to what looks like it was going to be a solid shore line to climb back in and holy shit the ground sinks beneath me.....I was crotch deep in the fricken mud!!! churning it up I found out that the mud in the area has sulfur in it and the lovely smell of rotten eggs goes wafeting through the air. I get back in the boat and pull off my new water shoes (Nike's no less) and drop one in, at this point I am so pissed I took off the other one and threw it in. Ok so now we are on the way back to the dock so I can go to the truck and get my other shoes and the motor dies, and we have to row, luckily it's not noon yet so it hasn't reached 100 degrees yet.
We get to the dock and I am bound and determined to clean myself off after dancing in the mud, only to find no bathroom but a porta potty and a hose outside. Okay so I take a hose shower with pumice soap, ouch. And we go back out in search of the other boat. (with a new and improved smaller motor attached to this thing) Putt putting along the waterways.
ok, so the rest of the day is pretty much a beer, sun and crab tossing day. That's right crab tossing, we got so bored we were tossing baby crabs from boat to boat. The boys were sun burnt and we girls were just burnt out.
Now for the ride home, first stop is the liquor store, of course we were empty by 3pm, and the buzzes start again. One of our boys in the front starts throwing up out the window onto other cars on the highway and drinking more and throwing up more, yeah it was a visious circle. At the red lights the idiot was jumping out and wiping off our car and cars that he had tossed on.
Believe it or not, it was a good day all in all, we will all have alot of laughs talkin about it for months to come.
Pictures to follow tonight.
