I was in a panga heading out to Glovers from Hopkins last year. I've made that run several times, and when it's rough it is really not fun! In the boat with me on this particular trip was a buddy of mine Chris who had never fished salt. Going thru the barrier reef, we took a pretty big wave over the bow, which is maybe the 2nd or 3rd time that's happened to me in my 64 years. I gotta say it made me a bit "concerned". I look back at our guide Ransom, and he has a non expression on his face, so I play it cool also. Chris looks at me and says something to the effect "should we turn back". Nah, I say, it's only going to be like this right at the pass. So we do the wave surfing thing all the way out. It was brutal, but it ends at Glovers, which is paradise! Chris took it mostly in stride, but he did say "that was horrifying!"
🤣 that's the truth! This was back when we didn't have a ton of camera gear (nor the foresight to film everything) so I hate that we didn't have Lloyd's original reaction to the question. It was this hilarious (almost insulted) "That? That was nothin. That's a normal commute to Glovers"
Awesome film fellas!
I need to get back down there stat!
Is that an invitation….

Newbs.... But then again, that's part of the process.
