Old man and the sea part 2 - trying to sort my son’s fishing equipment 🎣
Our son has fond memories of fishing from a large place in the East - admittedly that was a pleasant and super efficient enterprise, where he would catch kilos of fish within 15 minutes and then have them appropriately prepared on site (or we would take the remainder home). The average size was 3-10 pounds.
So the urge to repeat the experience was strong, so enter the Mediterranean shoreline for a very different experience. Took me a while to sort the rod and tackle (or whatever you call that) but finally got it all ready. The results were modest (and I am not sure that I am not actually happier that way), i.e. there was no catch 😊🤷🏻♂️
And I finally had to do most of the rod holding while he beach combed his way around 🏝️
At least the Omega Seamaster 1948 was unperturbed throughout and given that diving was not on the cards, the 60m WR was less of an issue.
What is on your wrist these days? Wishing you a great start of the week 👋🏻

I like this Seamaster very much!
And if the fishing session wasn’t successful at least I’m sure the fish are happy that it wasn’t! 😊😇🐟🐠🐡 Best, Emmanuel
The fish and me, both 😂😂😂
No cleaning, no gutting no having to prepare stuff that would most likely not get eaten 😂😂😂
Interesting you mention preparation
Including gutting. Most young kids (and adults) are completely disconnected from the reality of the food chain. Having spent some time growing up on a farm where killing animals was part of daily tasks I'm used to it but still remember my son's shock afte...
The shock happened quite some years ago…
When fishing first and seeing what happened after the fish was caught. And you are fully right - we do live largely distanced from the ’material’ world 🤷🏻♂️ As for a deer - have witnessed that and you are right, another ballgame altogether… ...
You’re fully right there 😊👍🏻👏🏻
Got a tad sunburnt unfortunately but this shall pass 😁👍🏻
You won the day just by spending quality time with your son, KMII
Beautiful Seamaster! Here’s my companion for the week ahead: All the best, Alex ...
You’re very right there 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The rest is just decoration 😊 And a lovely piece you have started the week with 👌🏻👏🏻👍🏻
There’s that 😊👍🏻
The little man was not unduly saddened that the catch didn’t happen. At least we had some hours of joint activity, which was the main focus anyway 😁
