I’ve been kidnapped!!

[Spurchaser]

Y’all keep me in your thoughts as y’all enjoy the great outdoors this week…I have been taken forcibly against my will by a woman and 2 children.
They have forced me onto a vessel and will not return me for 8 days!! There are 2 other adult captors, a male and female, and a precious little girl.
They all conspired together and somehow got me to agree to something I did not want to participate in. When I objected as to what was said that lead me to believe this wasn’t what I had in mind, I was forced into a vehicle and taken to the coast.
I’m hoping I’ll still be around in a week and get my life back to normal…

Classic! Bon voyage.
Hopefully we'll be here, anxiously awaiting your safe return.

The coast? What a great place for a fishing pole. Turn lemons into lemonade.

 

[Spurchaser]

Yeah, ain’t fishing off this big ole boat unfortunately.

 

[hm1996]

This one's for you, Mark, just so you don't get withdrawal symptoms and/or get rusty in all that salt air.

 

[crapshoot]

You could always abandon ship by jumping overboard. That would ensure at least some fishing would be done on the trip.

I will notify the area office of the FBI concerning your dilemma.....stay vigilant.

Happy wife. Happy life.
Mine cruises with friends after l went on one in 88 and said never again (did take 2 Alaska cruise/land tours but they were of my choosing and MUCH different than that Caribbean sh*t and also with other close personal couples).
I am “required” to spend a week at the Outer Banks with Suz and a house full of family and friends each summer.

I count my blessings, my wife loves the outdoors and watching critters; will occasionally go for a boat ride but gets seasick when waves over couple of ft. high, so no obligatory cruises for me.

 

[Spurchaser]

Well, I married a cruiseaholic. She and CJ just got off one 2 weeks to the day and they have another in October. Luckily I only got wrangled into this one…family cruise.
Here’s one of my captors…Granddaughter Ellie Jane affectionally called HD by me.

Yeah, that joker would cost me money putting it on the wall after killing it! If he ain’t got 1.5” spurs he ain’t missing by much!!! Beautiful bird!!

 

[spotstalkshoot]

Cooling off in the Texas heat?? Probably what Spurchaser will do, dunk the toes in a pool.

 

[hm1996]

He was a nice bird. Probably was mid-summer, but don't remember for sure.

I loved cruising the Danube and Rhine. Visited a gunshop in Frankfort. Ancient guns in restored castles. Saw wild pheasants in Hungary, high-house hunting blinds along the river, ducks and geese, fishing camps along the river, goose hunters in the Netherlands Great local food and wines and nice German and French brandies and decent scotch. We spent a couple extra days in Barcelona, Amsterdam and Lucerne. You wouldn't have to twist my arm to do it again.

 

[Spurchaser]

My family…aka Kidnappers

 

[Sprinkman]

You look horrified and emaciated, are you okay?
Those barbarians, how are your kidnappers treating you?
Hang in there, help is on the way

 

[lockrotor]

Great looking group. Great memeriors.

 

[popper43]

You got to have a great time with that crew. She thought about going on one but decided against it - has to fly to the boarding location. I had my 4 yr cruise so don't need anymore.

 

[wildcat18]

Hopefully your kidnappers don't ask for ransom money, you might be SOL

 

[Spurchaser]

Yeah, especially since one of the kidnappers pictured would be the one paying for my release!
We were in Costa Maya today and will be in Cozumel tomorrow. Just a few more days before I get back to heat, humidity, and gnats!! It doesn’t help I still have all my cameras running and getting pics of hogs!!!
