Ahi Fever!

Last Sunday, we sent to the second day of Ahi Fever. Ahi is the Hawaiian name for yellowfin tuna. We went around 3pm when they were doing the weigh in. It was cool to see the boats pull up one by one with their catch. There was a hook on a chain that had a motor. It would pull up the fish high for everyone to see and then weigh them. The winner was 238 lbs. That's a big fish!

Then we got invited to sit on one of the boats. We even climbed up to the top part of the boat. I have a picture I'll post. It was scary. The next week one of my patient's brought me fresh ahi. Brian seared it last night. It was good. Then Brian got some more ahi from the guy that's been taking him out deep sea fishing. So we have lots of Ahi!!!

This weekend, we only have Sun off and then we are both working Mon. So we will be tired. But we may go to a polo match on the North Shore. They are supposed to fun, with tailgating starting at noon.
