At 6 a.m. the skipper began waking up the passengers for the morning´s voyage to go fishing. The difficulty was that the passengers had returned from a wedding around 5 a.m., thus lacking sleep and sobriety. But, the passengers (those that could wake) and crew were successfully awoken, blurred vision and all, for a nice fishing trip in the Laguna. Stocked with the necessary supplies, gasoline, water, whiskey, tequilla, Coke, water, and a camera, the Trophy set sail with sunrise. While searching for fish, Mrs. Howell, Ginger, and Mary Ann relaxed in the plesant morning sun, not expecting to fall asleep... Especially not expecting to be awakened by the sounds of engine troubles. An hour and a half away from the Marina, in a rapidly moving current the passengers and crew of the Trophy found themself in quite a prediciment. The comedy for this program is in the efforts of the men to fix the motor while paddling from the middle of the river to the closest bank. Why didn´t this crew just call for help? The cell phone of Don Juan containing the numbers for his fellow Rotarians with boats was left on the house in the early morning rush to fish, and alas the other family members were still sleeping off their rum, tequilla, or whiskey effects from the wedding.... Luckily, the after an hour or two of the engine working, then stopping, then not working at all, and varied attempts to throw down an anchor and ¨docking¨ in a grove of trees the engine finally agreed to work long enough to get the members back to the marina.

Starved for food, sleep deprived, and with one very intoxicated Skipper the crew and passengers arrived at the house around 2 p.m.
