Guest Report post Posted May 10, 2004 Every year we go south the whole group ends up being burnt to a crisp the very first day and then lays around in misery the rest of the week. Nothing sucks like a bad sun burn, I don't envy you bud. take care bud and have a safe trip home. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted May 10, 2004 Kevin Maybe by Sat. I might be ok, but as of now that kind of arm movement might give me some trouble. OSD. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lanvaettir 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2004 Look at the bright side (pun slightly intended) your skin may serve as an attractor for any fish attracted to the red glow. Maybe we should refer to you as a Royal OSD ? All kidding aside, drink lots of water (skin heals faster) get back to a more northern climate. You're not driving back are you? That would be painful.

Guest Report post Posted May 10, 2004 Nope I will board a jet at 7:00 Pm Tue. and be home by 10:00pm. but my skin isn't royal red it's more like purple (I got it bad) I can't believe the sun is so strong down here even in May. I'm hoping My casting arm will be ok to cast when I get back home OSD. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Foersterhunter 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2004 bob what your telling me from this last report is that i should get out the 20 weight(its a big cannon)and cast you as a purple wolley bugger. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 11, 2004 It really isn't funny how often tourists come down here and don't realize how quickly they get sunburned. The tropical sun will get you seriously burned in about 15 minutes if you're not wearing at least a SPF 30 sunblock. I personally use SPF 50, I'm not so vain that I think I need a tan. Pastey white ain't so bad, it beats the hell out of skin cancer. I have a fishing buddy who is a Dermotologist and when he hits the water he looks like a mummy, only his mouth, chin, nose and fingertips are exposed. And those are slathered with sunblock. So, a warning to all you yankees; when you visit FL don't forget to BE CAREFUL! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
