Deep Sea Fishing Trip from Key West Florida 1966, the Yanks did us proud, providing , the boat, bait and cokes, we supplied the beer.

I'm in the black shirt, I caught the shark, Chippy with the sailfish, Jeff Bridle bottom left holding the rod, sorry guys can't remember any more names, forty years and the memory is fading.

When we returned to the ship, I was exhausted, I had a shower and fell asleep on my bunk, they woke me up at ten o'clock to tell me I had missed the fish and chip supper,

Some years later, I bumped into Jeff Bridle, he was working on the Isle of Wight ferry, he told me, " he and the Chippy received a set of fishing encyclopedias, bound in red Moroccan Leather, with their names in gold lettering, for winning the Florida Beach, specimen fish competition for 1966 ".
