So, I finally sign into your blog and lo and behold our group picture with the barracuda is there! Now, my husband is impressed. It certainly brings back great memories and I can hardly wait to get back to Isla.................mj

Starting to look at old Bash photos

A few years ago I made this collage of a few shots from the Bash. If you look closely, you'll see the particpants are wearing white t-shirts. Those are from the 10th Barracuda bash & was in 2005.

New Barracuda Bash friends go sail fishing on

this up.

How to post photos, since a few people have asked...

Hope this helps. A few of you have asked how to post photos; it is fairly easy. You need to sign in on the BBash blog 1st. Blogspot has a lot of tutorials under the help section--here is a link to the one about photos

Bash Party Photos

Steve Stamm with his 1st place trophy, the boat captain, mate & Rosie

What you didn't see in the 1st photo--Stve's dad, Rick trying to get the trophy away! Only kidding, Rick--did he take the trophy back to the ship with him or have you started a trophy room at home? For those of you that were'nt at the Bash last year--Rick won in 2008!

2nd place winner with captain, mate & Rosie ( his name?)

Bash Party...a whole lotta fun!

Doug with some of the kids at the party--wearing some of the glow stick stuff that was made & enjoyed by all...

Rosie giving a speech; saying thanks for coming & enjoy yourself!

Plates full of great food--guacamole, fruit, chicken & fish & all the fixins'. And of course the beer! ( see the quart bottles on the tables...)

A few more fish photos

relaxing at Velasquez after the 2nd day of fishing!---Debbie, Carl, Mike & Patti

At the weigh station--not quite big enough to beat yesterday's catch!

The girls and Xool--one of them caught a fish!

More of Day #2

I just sent the last of the emails telling all the fishing people about the blog. Will send the last of the invitations to join tomorrow. Hopefully we will get some great photos and stories from other people besides me!

Day 2

getting the supplies to the boat..... Cuda Bill and Brenda visiting before fishing starts.....

Debbie and Doug ( Rambo) waiting to go!

A few more 1st day photos

In the wrong order, but I'm not going to re-do.

I'm here! [I think]....thanks Ann

Thanks for the invite Ann. This is my first blog, and I hope that it goes through. Steve left for the ship yesterday, so he won't be asking me who's #1 again today. Just kidding. We all had a great time on Isla and no one got sick untill we got home. Thats right, we ALL got sick, and the only meal that we had in common was the night before we left at Ballyhoos. It was nice to see you and Allan and the rest of the crew again and we are allready counting the weeks untill next year. we will keep in touch.

1st Day--getting ready to fish

A few photos of the boats getting loaded, people meeting their captains & crew, or renewing old friendships! Jim & Chris

Not sure who is in these next 2 photos--lots of people!

Looks like Cuda Bill seated in the boat....

1st day of fishing

Part of the crew from Massachusetts!

The Captains and mates.

There are 3 1st time fishing people in this photo--too bad the 1st day they had no watch & came in late! Seems to be a habit with their capt.!

2009-- the winning fish

Steve Stamm and his winning catch--a 41 pound barracuda!
