Sadly the inclement weather of high winds and rain prevented the anglers from going out to hunt more marlin today. Friday will be no better so the competition is over bar the celebrations. Hereunder is the report of Thursday night’s auction and on Friday the prize-giving will take place.
Here are the links to the three marlin catch and release reports, in the anglers’ own words.
Once again Marinda and her team fed the competitors and helpers with an awesome spread of lemon and herb or peri-peri chicken done in tinfoil on the braai. This was served with baby potatoes and broccoli au gratin.
An extra touch to the Island theme of the week was to throw in some pirates.
After dinner, Grant from Airmar gave a short video presentation of their awesome products and also presented the members of Sea Cat with AIrmar T-shirts.
Grant then asked Uncle Ted to sing a song which he did with much gusto followed by loud applause from us all. He too was presented with a shirt.
One of the highlights of the evening functions is Auction Night when a variety of excellent wines go to the highest bidder. Profits go into the club’s coffers.
Andrew Perrins (Ski-boat Mobile) did a sterling job as auctioneer and the competition among the bidders was fierce and fun. (Click on the first photo to enlarge and use arrows to view the rest of the slide show).
