We would usually catch enough fish to
fill up our little freezer with filets of white
bass or cod or sheeps head. And the best part
was when Lt. Snyder came on board we would,
under darkness of the mid watch before going out
to sea, sneak on board a ½ keg of beer and put
it in the bilge to keep it cool until we got to
the island. Of course we couldn’t drink the
water in the holding tanks because it was always
rancid and left a bad taste in your mouth. |
