Afternoon Trip 10/1

[PhilK999]

Damn Marty,

Be careful around those darn blues. Ed has a story about a relative of his who had to take a trip to the ER after a blue came off the hook and cut this person all the way down his leg. I forget the number of stitches, but left one hell of a scar.

Sounds like a fun trip from being able to sleep in, to the blues and finishing off the night with rockfish and making tie dyed shirts.

Thanks Phil; I was starting to think a stich might help me too. He got me in one of those areas where you keep flexing the finger and opening the wound every time you use it.
I threw everything at it to make it heal. When I got home, I washed it well, of course it bled, I poured peroxide on it, dryed it then put an antibacterial ointment on it and taped it up.
It looks good today. All day use yesterday had it open again.

Because I worked in the Mycobacteria Lab for 32 years, I know the possibility of infection (even Myco infection) is possible with this type of laceration.

Gloves are a pain, espescially when it's warm outside (yesterday was 80+*). But, sometimes you need to protect yourself.

I need to buy a pair of those "FishOff" gloves this fall.

I tacked yesterdays charter trip info onto Charlie's post for anyone interested.

Love those fish off gloves and you've seen they are normally stuck above my live well so they are always in easy reach, problem is most people never use them. Keep an eye on that finger.
