Hello everyone; Well, it’s a new year, and we are headed for points south of the border. With 24 passengers, some new, some old. We all are looking forward to seeing what the ocean will bring.

Today was spent getting kite leaders, getting some of the reels and rods ready, just in case we find some action. Also, Gary, the charter head, had some great giveaways and a raffle prizes. We would like to thank some of the sponsors who provided some great gifts.

We would like to thank Taka and Katy, owner hooks, lead masters, Izorline, Steve Goto, Zack Mauradian family, Matt Matsuno, Paul Boggs, Smitty Belts and Ron Watanabe. Also, the great Poker tournament started today also, with Craig Ito, taking a quick lead, with Big “D”, in a close second.

Just a few photos to show some of the prizes giving away today. So, until tomorrow, wish us luck and we will keep you updated on our daily events. Team R/p.
