Reel Repair by Alan Tani

The island is as beautiful as ever.

Easy landing.

Four of the guys went fishing already,  the rest of us are relaxing. 

Tracy and I get the honeymoon suite!

From the lodge.

Beautiful location!  Are you allowed to fish from shore? Any rooster fish there?

Looks prime. Y'all at Lodge 1 or 2? Headed there in 3 weeks - can't wait!

It would have to be a pretty lost rooster.  They get them occasionally as far north as Bahia Magdalena.  Water is usually too cold inshore around Cedros.

I hate I missed this trip. I'm sure Tracy can find another photographer to record all the fish he catches.
I just got back to GA from San Antonio late Sunday night (27th). Attended the 77th reunion of the 101st Airborne Division. Spent some quality time with a lot of guys I served with in VN 52 years ago. Might have been some alcohol involved.
An interesting but sad side note: this was the 1st reunion that NO World War II veterans attended! RIP
Pencil me in for Cedros next year. Hopefully the 101st reunion in Springfield MO next year will not overlap Cedros.

American Heroes, all of you!  Thank you. Bill

Who is the nice looking guy second from the right?

It's hard to tell who that handsome fellow is due to the glare off all the bald domes in the photo. 

These 9 guys were all members (some at different times) of my unit in VN. The Kingsmen of B Company, 101st Aviation Bn, 101st Airborne Division.

Some of you may recognize/remember Tom Robinson (4th from left). He was on the 2020 SoA 8 day. His bad knee couldn't handle the stairs so he spent most of the trip in the galley. He's one of a very few door gunners in VN to earn a Distinguished Flying Cross.
GA Mike

I enjoyed having him on the boat.
