    Son of a blow torch

    Has been too windy to fish from the kayak we waded a barnacle reef, cut my foot bad like blood spurt on the pulse bad. We paddled back loaded up and sent my wife to CVS for turmeric and super glue, not paying ER copay for a flesh wound. Worst part only needle fish were biting.
