Hello Anglers,

It's Monday morning here on the Excel and our gang is enjoying a great breakfast and a very nice ride on our way to the Bank. Like always on Ralph's trips, there were plenty of activities this weekend to keep the guys mind off the long ride. First was the NFL style bingo game where new comer to this trip, Terry Farmen, took the pot after he was the first one to black out his card. Second was the dart tournament on the upper deck. This is a good way to get everyone outside in the sun and laugh at their fellow anglers as they try to hit the dart board with their right hand for the first round, and then their left for the second. Third, the passengers have really enjoyed the addition of the Nintendo Wii. They have organized a bowling tournament to take place in just a couple of days. All of this plus the usual rigging of tackle has made time fly. We will be arriving to the bank tomorrow at daylight and hopefully find some eager, biting fish. Wish us luck.... JUSTIN
