Fishy story?

My alarm clock duly sounded at 6.30am, so I crawled out of bed and threw on a pair of shorts ready for a quick breakfast. Then it was a dash down to the pier-head in a beaten-up old landrover ready for an adventure of a lifetime? Once on board the boat, our skipper took us out to some deep water, where we hoped we would tempt a few fish onto our bait. Well, after some time, I think most of us were wondering if this really was a good idea - the sea was rolling and most people seemed to be quietly concentrating on the horizon! Were we ever going to catch anything? Suddenly, one of our fishing reels sprang into life and a rather nice ‘Jackfish’ was duly hauled onto deck. After the requisite photo shots, the ‘Jack’ was returned to the sea to resume its watery life. After that, we continued to fish for a while but with no further bites, and then we returned home. At the end, I think we all agreed that it was a really good morning out, even though we only had limited success. What did the sardine call the submarine?  A can of people!   Compiled by  Harry Kane Crown Copyright 2010 Met Office Ascension Island base
